| Obverse description | Concave antique-finished field depicting a stylized cosmic scene rendered in fine detail. Two engraved orbital rings intersect across the field, with three spherical celestial bodies positioned along their arcs — a small body at upper left, a larger sphere at upper right, and a third at lower left. The central field displays a subtle stippled texture evoking a star field or cosmic surface. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF GHANA arcs along the upper portion within the orbital design, while the denomination 5 CEDIS appears within a raised circular cartouche at lower right. The date 2025 is inscribed vertically at the right margin, and the purity mark Ag 999 appears at the lower centre. |

| Reverse description | Highly detailed antique-finished reverse depicting a cross-section of the Muonionalusta meteorite, rendered with exceptional sculptural relief. The field is dominated by a richly textured Widmanstätten pattern of interlocking crystalline bands radiating outward from the centre, surrounded by a border of rounded chondrule-like formations in high relief. At the centre of the composition, a triangular groove is inlaid with an actual fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite, presented as a polished dark cubic insert. The curved legend MUONIONALUSTA SWEDEN arcs along the lower portion of the field in incuse lettering within a recessed banner. |
