The circular legend reads REPUBLIC OF GHANA at the top and CHARLES III to the left, with 2025 and 5 CEDIS flanking the lower portion. The Ghanaian coat of arms appears in the exergue below the portrait. Below the medallion, in the lower beard-shaped section of the flan, the series title VIKING SKULL and the silver specification 1 OZ .999 AG are inscribed in bold relief.

Reverse description	A highly detailed, high-relief rendering of a human skull facing forward, surmounted by an ornately decorated Norse helmet adorned with interlaced knotwork and fitted with two prominent curved horns. The skull retains a long, flowing beard with braided plaits at either side, rendered in fine striated detail. The eye sockets are deeply recessed and the jaw is open, displaying the upper teeth. The overall composition fills the shaped flan, with the helmet's horns extending into the upper wing-like projections of the coin's irregular outline, emphasizing the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design.
