| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III in right-facing profile occupies the central field in high relief, rendered with fine detail in the hair and facial features. Concentric orbital rings radiate outward from the portrait, decorated with spherical nodes evocative of a celestial or planetary diagram, and the XXI mint mark appears among the rings at the right. The upper legend reads REPUBLIC OF GHANA and 10 CEDIS, while the lower legend reads CHARLES III. Additional inscriptions, reading 2 oz 2025 Ag 999, are incorporated into the orbital design on the left side of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate high-relief astronomical and alchemical composition centered on a radiant sunburst motif, with long tapering rays emanating from a concave polished central disc representing the Sun. Surrounding the sunburst, the field is intricately engraved with a star map featuring comets, constellations, and celestial bodies rendered in fine detail against a textured antique ground. Eight circular medallions arranged in a ring around the central motif each bear a classical planetary or alchemical symbol, including those for Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, the Moon, Earth, Mercury, and Venus, among others. The symbol for Venus is highlighted by an inlaid amber-toned glass or resin cabochon, providing a distinctive contrast to the otherwise monochrome silver surface. No legend appears on the reverse; the design relies entirely on its intricate iconographic programme. |
