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.
