| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed engraving of a cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) rearing upright in a threatening posture, jaws open to reveal its dentition, with both forepaws raised and claws extended. A glacial mountain landscape is rendered in the left background field, with the fineness inscription 1 OZ AG 999 positioned to the left of the bear. The curved legend GIANTS OF THE ICE AGE arcs across the upper portion of the inner field, while a frieze of small silhouetted Ice Age megafauna decorates the border of the outer ring. The date 2020 is inscribed at the lower left of the field. |

Ghana's "Cave Bear" issues belong to a broader Central African-style wildlife bullion program that Ghana's mint partnerships have produced for international collector markets since the mid-2010s — coins with no meaningful relationship to Ghanaian fauna, history, or economy, but struck under Ghanaian authority as a licensing arrangement. The cave bear itself, Ursus spelaeus, vanished roughly 24,000 years ago, likely a casualty of human hunting pressure and Pleistocene climate shifts rather than a single extinction event.
The KM#124 reference places this squarely within a serialized collector series rather than a circulation issue.
