Obverse description Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief after the portrait by engraver Jody Clark, whose initials 'JC' appear at the truncation. The circumferential legend is divided across the field reading 'CHARLES III' at the left, 'REPUBLIC OF GHANA' arching across the top, and '5 CEDIS · 2025' to the right. The lower arc bears the inscription '1 oz .999 SILVER', separated by raised dots throughout.

Reverse description A vivid colourised depiction of Saint Michael the Archangel dominates the central field, portrayed as a youthful warrior in ornate Roman-style armour with large outstretched wings and a nimbus halo encircling his head. He holds a sword in his right hand and a second sword hangs at his left side, while a separately struck uncoloured silver figure of a fully armoured Roman soldier bearing a round shield stands in bas-relief in the foreground. A dramatic cloudscape forms the background in shades of blue-grey and white, and the inner border features a continuous Greek-key meander pattern. The curved legend 'ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL' arches across the upper periphery in raised Latin letters.
