Obverse description High-relief right-facing draped bust of King Charles III, uncrowned with natural hair, occupying the central field. The effigy is encircled by a decorative band of concentric orbital lines with spherical nodes, evoking a celestial or planetary motif consistent with the series theme. The legend REPUBLIC OF GHANA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 10 CEDIS positioned to the right of the bust. The inscription CHARLES III appears along the lower rim, while the specifications 2 oz 2024 Ag 999 and the XXI mint mark are integrated within the inner orbital ring. The antique finish imparts a muted, aged silver tone to the entire composition.

Reverse description Elaborate high-relief cosmological composition centered on a stylized radiant sun with elongated, flame-like rays rendered in deep sculptural relief against a finely engraved celestial field. The central solar orb is rendered as a concave disc, surrounded by radiating points and an etched starfield incorporating comet trajectories and constellation lines. Encircling the solar motif are eight medallions, each bearing a classical astronomical or alchemical planetary symbol representing Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Uranus or Neptune. The Mars medallion, positioned at upper left, is distinguished by an inset amber-colored resin gemstone, identifying it as the thematic subject of this issue. The richly decorated field of engraved stars and celestial trajectories creates an elaborate cosmological tableau executed in antique finish.
