| Reverse description | A highly stylised horse's head rendered in an ornate, intricately engraved floral and scrollwork design occupies the central field, with flowing mane depicted in fine linear relief extending across the upper portion of the coin. A faceted red crystal insert is inlaid at the eye of the horse, serving as a focal accent. Elaborate filigree and foliate arabesques fill the surrounding field on both sides of the central motif. The curved legend YEAR OF THE HORSE 2026 is inscribed along the lower arc, flanked by two circular pellets as punctuation marks. |

| Additional information |
Ghana's lunar series issues are produced under a licensing arrangement that places them firmly in the international bullion collectibles market rather than in any domestic monetary tradition. The horse holds no particular cultural resonance in Ghanaian history — these coins are minted for export to collector markets in Europe and Asia, with the Bank of Ghana lending its issuing authority to a product driven entirely by outside demand.
The crystal insert requires a separate production step after striking, using a pressed resin element seated into a pre-cut recess in the planchet.
