CoinSilver Ounce 2025 Patron Saints - St Michael the Archangel

The Ghanaian Cedi has been the currency of Ghana since 1965, when it replaced the pre-decimal Ghanaian Pound.

Apart from the regular circulating coinage, the country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. These are typically in standard ounce-based sizes, such as one troy ounce of silver (abbreviated as 1 oz Ag, where "Ag" comes from the Latin word for silver, Argentum).

This coin is the first release in the Patron Saints series by the Native American Mint, and is dedicated to St. Michael the Archangel.

Saint Michael is revered as the patron saint of soldiers, police, paramedics, and the military. In Christian tradition, St. Michael is the chief commander of God’s heavenly armies. By casting Satan out of heaven, he is a symbol of divine justice and protection. His veneration dates back to early Christianity and grew in medieval times, where he was honored as a protector of knights and defenders of the faith.

Obverse

At centre, the obverse of the coin features the portrait of King Charles III facing left. Below the neck truncation, the initials of the designer, JC, for Jody Clark. It is unclear why the King's effigy is shown, given that Ghana has been a republic since 1960, as evidenced even by the inscription above the portrait.

Around the rim, the inscription reads: CHARLES III · REPUBLIC OF GHANA · 5 CEDIS · 2025.

Around below, the precious metal content: · 1oz .999 SILVER · (one troy ounce of 99.9% silver).
