| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered after Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait, showing the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The central device is set within a coloured annular ring in copper-orange tone, separating the inner field from the outer legend. The date 2020 is divided flanking the portrait at mid-field, with star ornaments as separators. The legend ELIZABETH II and denomination 2 CEDIS arc across the upper periphery, while REPUBLIC OF GHANA with a small arms device appears along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Ghana's "Exotic Shrubbery" and wildlife numismatic programs have repeatedly drawn scrutiny for issuing coins with no meaningful connection to the country — the giant panda is endemic to south-central China, not West Africa. These pieces are effectively licensed fantasy issues, produced by European minting contractors and distributed through the collector market rather than circulated domestically.
