| Obverse description | A cowry shell (Monetaria moneta) depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, rendered in fine detail with its characteristic elongated oval form and serrated aperture visible. The circular legend reads 'GHANA' at the top and 'FREEDOM AND JUSTICE' around the lower portion, separated by raised dots. The design reflects the FAO issue theme, celebrating food and agriculture through the use of the historically significant cowry shell motif. |
