| Beschrijving keerzijde | A convex raised design depicting a naked male discus thrower (Diskobolos) in dynamic athletic pose, rendered in high relief and inspired by an ancient Carian coinage type dating to approximately 480–475 B.C. (Triple Siglos). The figure is shown in profile with the discus raised, capturing the classical Greek aesthetic of athletic idealism. The legend OLYMPICS 2004 arcs along the upper portion of the field, with ATHENS inscribed below, both in raised Latin lettering, commemorating the 2004 Summer Olympic Games held in Athens. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana issued this piece two years ahead of the Athens Games as part of a wave of sub-Saharan African nations producing Olympic-licensed silver rounds in the early 2000s — a revenue strategy that had little to do with athletic participation and everything to do with the international commemorative coin market. The convex planchet format, borrowed from the European collector trade, was an unusual production choice for the Ghana Mint's external contractors at the time.
