| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed three-dimensional sculptural representation of the front face of the iconic Liberty Bell, rendered in full relief across the entire bell-shaped flan. The upper yoke and wooden support beam are depicted in fine detail, with the clapper visible beneath the bell's crown. Two bands of inscribed text encircle the shoulder of the bell, faithfully reproducing the historic legends of the original bell, including a partial biblical verse and foundry reference. Centered on the body of the bell, in three lines, appears the foundry inscription PASS AND STOW / PHILAD / MDCCLIII, and the characteristic crack running down the bell's side is prominently rendered. |

| Additional information |
Ghana has no particular historical or political connection to the Liberty Bell, and this is essentially a bullion-adjacent novelty issue — one of many colorized or plated commemoratives produced for the collector market by the Bank of Ghana under licensing arrangements with international coin marketing firms. The bank has issued dozens of such pieces since the 2010s, most bearing foreign iconography with limited relevance to Ghanaian monetary history.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at 34 grams is a format common to this commercial commemorative category. Melt value is negligible.
