| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly detailed depiction of the Treasury of Petra (Al-Khazneh), the iconic rock-cut facade carved by the Nabataean people into rose-red sandstone cliffs in present-day Jordan, dating to approximately the 1st century BC. The monument is rendered in high relief, capturing the characteristic Hellenistic-style columns, ornate pediment, and urn finial with exceptional sculptural depth. The surrounding field evokes the natural sandstone canyon walls of the Siq, reinforcing the architectural and geological context of the site. The inscription PETRA appears prominently in the legend field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana's "Petra" coin is part of a broader African-minted series celebrating world heritage sites, with the ancient Nabataean city in southern Jordan serving as the subject. Petra's rock-cut architecture dates to roughly the 4th century BC, though the city reached its commercial peak under Nabataean control as a critical node on the frankincense and spice routes between Arabia and the Mediterranean.
The 5-troy-ounce format places this squarely in the modern bullion-plus-collector market that Ghana's mint has aggressively pursued since the early 2020s.
