| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, surrounded by a beaded inner border. The legend REPUBLIC OF GHANA arcs above and FIVE CEDIS to the right, with ELIZABETH II to the left. Below the portrait, the specifications 50g, Ag999, and 2021 are inscribed in the lower field. The entire design is framed by an elaborate outer border of intricately engraved Art Nouveau-style foliate and floral scrollwork in high relief, lending the coin a distinctly ornamental character. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Ziva, the Slavic goddess of life, fertility, and harvest, rendered as a graceful female figure in flowing robes. She holds an apple in her raised right hand — a traditional symbol of love and abundance in Polabian folklore — and a bird in her left hand. The composition is enriched with summer flowers, foliage, and berries arranged around the central figure, evoking the goddess's role as a bringer of nourishment and vitality. The design is executed with fine colorwork applied to the figure and floral elements, set against a richly detailed antique-finish field. The name ZIVA appears as the principal legend on the reverse. |
