| Obverse description | The Ghanaian national coat of arms is depicted centrally within the field, featuring a quartered shield with a sword and staff in the first quarter, a castle in the second, a cocoa tree in the third, and a gold mine shaft in the fourth, separated by a green St. George's Cross. The legend 'GHANA' arcs across the upper field, and the denomination '100 SIKA' appears in the lower field. The date '19 97' flanks the shield on either side. The entire design is struck in proof quality against a mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
Ghana's "Sika" denominated issues of the 1990s were struck specifically for the collector market under the authority of the Bank of Ghana, with no meaningful circulation history. The X# prefix in the standard reference confirms this piece falls outside the regular monetary series — catalogued separately as a non-circulating legal tender issue. These were commonly produced by private European mints under contract, a practice widespread among smaller issuing authorities during this decade seeking foreign exchange revenue from numismatic sales.
