| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-colour anime-style illustration occupying the central field, depicting a young female figure with long dark hair rendered in a stylised Japanese animation aesthetic, reclining in a natural outdoor setting with sparse grass and rocky sandy terrain. A large scorpion is depicted in the background to the upper right, serving as the symbolic referent for the Scorpio zodiac sign. A purple banner ribbon in the lower left of the coloured field bears the inscription SCORPIO. The surrounding silver border is decorated with a continuous frieze of all twelve zodiac signs rendered as engraved pictorial figures, separated by a beaded inner ring. |

| Additional information |
Ghana's prolific commemorative program has leaned heavily into licensed pop-culture themes since the early 2020s, with anime-adjacent zodiac series becoming a reliable revenue stream sold almost exclusively through European and Asian secondary distributors — these coins rarely if ever circulate within Ghana itself. The Bank of Ghana retains issuing authority while production and distribution are typically handled by external minting and marketing intermediaries.
Scorpio falls mid-series in most zodiac releases, meaning mintage figures for this piece will depend entirely on pre-order demand rather than any fixed ceiling.
