| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, diademed and draped, after the fourth portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The bust is set within a central raised disc, framed by a coloured green ring. The legend ELIZABETH II and 2 CEDIS arcs along the upper periphery, flanking the top of the coloured band, while REPUBLIC OF GHANA curves along the lower periphery. The date 2020 is divided and appears to the left and right of the bust, each pair of digits accompanied by small star or floral ornaments. |

| Additional information |
Ghana's wildlife-themed currency series has issued coins under Bank of Ghana authority but produced almost entirely for the international collector market — they do not meaningfully circulate domestically. The wolverine is native to boreal and subarctic regions of North America, Scandinavia, and Russia, making its appearance on a Ghanaian coin a straightforward licensing decision rather than any expression of national fauna.
Silver-plated copper-nickel was the deliberate choice here to keep retail price accessible while maintaining visual appeal for the series buyer.
