| Obverse description | The coin is struck in the three-dimensional shape of a recumbent Sphinx facing to the right, with the body rendered in antique silver-tone and the nemes headdress decorated in applied blue and white color enamel with fine horizontal striping. A colored false beard is depicted at the chin in a brown hatched pattern. The effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appears in right-facing portrait integrated into the Sphinx's facial features, with the legends ELIZABETH II, 2 CEDIS, REPUBLIC OF GHANA, SPHINX, and the date 2020 inscribed across the design field. Hieroglyphic decorative elements fill the surrounding areas of the composition. |
