| Beschrijving voorzijde | The coin is struck in an irregular silhouette shape evoking the outline of the Madonna and Child composition. At centre, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted in a diademed and draped bust portrait, set within a recessed circular field, with the date divided as '20' and '22' to either side of the effigy. The legend 'ELIZABETH II 2 CEDIS' curves along the upper arc, while 'REPUBLIC OF GHANA' arcs along the lower portion of the circular field. The inscription 'MADONNA WITH CHILD' appears in bold relief in the lower field, flanked by raised rose motifs, and the entire background of the shaped flan is covered with a repeating high-relief rose pattern. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a richly colourized devotional image of the Virgin Mary rendered in an icon-like artistic style. The Madonna is depicted wearing a red robe with a blue mantle, her long brown hair flowing freely, and bearing a jewelled crown with a radiant golden halo behind her head. She holds the Christ Child, who is also crowned and robed in white, tenderly cradling him in both arms as he rests against her cheek. The full-colour application fills the entire shaped flan, creating a vivid and detailed religious tableau. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana's "Madonna with Child" issues are part of a broader push by African mints and issuing authorities to capture the European devotional collectibles market — a segment that has expanded sharply since the mid-2010s. These pieces are struck for collector sale rather than circulation, with aluminium brass providing a cost-effective substrate for heavy gold plating at a weight that satisfies heft expectations without precious-metal pricing.
The Bank of Ghana has licensed its name to several such series produced outside the country entirely, typically through European minting houses.
