| Obverse description | The obverse features a right-facing diademed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II at center within a raised circular border, surrounded by radiating sunburst lines extending to the shaped outer field. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs above and 2 CEDIS to the right of the portrait, with the date 20 21 flanking the lower portrait. The legend REPUBLIC OF GHANA curves along the lower border, accompanied by the Ghanaian coat of arms at bottom center. The coin's shaped outer frame evokes the roofline silhouette of the White House, with the inscriptions WHITE and HOUSE appearing in relief on the left and right wings respectively. |

| Additional information |
The "White House" 2 Cedis is part of Ghana's broader collector series issued under the Bank of Ghana's commemorative program, which has drawn criticism from numismatic purists for blurring the line between legal tender and novelty medallion. Ghana has no particular historical connection to the White House, making this a purely commercial issue aimed at the international gift and souvenir market rather than domestic circulation.
Gold-plated nickel brass at this weight class wears through the plating predictably at contact points within months of handling.
