| Additional information |
Ghana's "Sika" series from this period was part of a broader wave of wildlife-themed legal tender issues produced primarily for the collector market rather than circulation — a revenue strategy adopted by several smaller economies in the late 1990s. The X-prefix reference confirms this coin's trade money classification, meaning it circulated in the numismatic trade but was never intended for domestic use.
