| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana has issued a long-running series of privately designed bullion pieces under its official mint authority, many commissioned by European bullion dealers — particularly German ones — targeting the collector-investor market rather than domestic circulation. The "Viking Skull" belongs to this commercial pipeline, where the Ghanaian legal tender framework is essentially licensed for third-party designs with no connection to Ghanaian history or culture.
The face value of 5 Cedis is nominal to the point of absurdity against the silver melt value, a legal formality required for the coin to carry sovereign status.
