| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right at center, rendered in high relief against a gold-plated field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs to the upper left and 2 CEDIS to the upper right, while REPUBLIC OF GHANA curves along the lower arc above the inscription SOBEK and the date 2022 in the exergue area. Ankh symbols flank the lower field, and the entire border is densely decorated with incuse Egyptian hieroglyphs, reflecting the coin's ancient Egyptian thematic design. The Ghana state coat of arms appears below the queen's portrait. |

| Reverse description | Vivid colorized portrait of Sobek, the ancient Egyptian crocodile deity, depicted as a realistic crocodile head facing slightly left, shown in photographic relief style. The head is surmounted by an ankh symbol set within a solar disc atop a crescent, flanked by two ram or cobra heads. Concentric bands of polychrome color in deep red, teal, and gold radiate outward from the central portrait in a stylized solar disc composition. A diamond-shaped gem motif adorns the base of the neck, and the overall design captures the imposing and sacred character of this ancient deity. |
