| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, occupying the central field. The Queen is depicted with a diadem and drop earrings, rendered in fine detail with layered hair and jewellery. The engraver's initials IRB appear below the truncation. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II to the upper left and ONE CEDI to the upper right, with REPUBLIC OF GHANA along the lower arc, separated by the Ghanaian coat of arms. The rim is bordered by a decorative beaded inner ring and a dotted outer ring. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a whimsical celebratory design commemorating the birth of the royal heir to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. A stork in flight is depicted in the upper centre, carrying a swaddled infant wrapped in a coloured Union Jack flag applied in polychrome enamel. In the lower portion of the field, two overlapping textured hearts display impressed baby footprints, with a circular cartouche bearing the cursive inscription A Royal Baby 2013 superimposed upon them. Floral sprays and blossoms frame the left and right sides of the field, with the left half of the field given a contrasting mirror-polished dark finish. The curved legend along the upper border reads To celebrate the new arrival for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the rim is bordered by a beaded inner ring. |

Issued to mark the birth of Prince George in July 2013, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative coinage produced by smaller issuing authorities worldwide capitalizing on the event — Ghana among several African nations whose mints or licensing arrangements made them attractive vehicles for European novelty coin distributors targeting collector markets far removed from Accra.
