| Reverse description | The reverse features a dramatically rendered mythological dragon rendered in vivid digital colorization in fiery shades of red, orange, and gold against a deeply antiqued black field. The creature is depicted coiling around a circular inset of genuine obsidian, which occupies the lower central area of the design, symbolizing a dragon guarding a precious orb. The dragon's scales, wings, and flowing mane are rendered in high relief with exceptional detail. The inscription DRAGON appears in raised lettering along the lower rim within the design field. |

| Additional information |
Ghana has issued dragon-themed bullion and collector pieces as part of a broader licensing arrangement that places the country among a rotating group of African sovereign mints producing coins aimed squarely at the Asian collectibles market — a strategy that has little to do with Ghanaian monetary history and everything to do with the Chinese Lunar calendar's commercial reach. The obsidian insert is sourced from volcanic glass stock used across several competing mint programs in this space.
