5 Cedis Ix Chel

Ix Chel is the Maya goddess of the moon, medicine, and weaving — her inclusion in a Ghanaian state issue is a straightforwardly commercial decision, part of a broader wave of bullion and collector coins that national mints and issuing authorities have licensed out to European bullion dealers, particularly since the mid-2010s. The Bank of Ghana's name appears on the coin, but the creative and commercial apparatus behind it almost certainly originates elsewhere.
