| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Ghanaian coat of arms is depicted centrally in the field, rendered as a quartered shield featuring a sword and staff crossed in the upper left quarter, a castle with wavy lines representing the sea in the upper right, a cacao tree in the lower left, and a gold mine headgear in the lower right, with a golden lion passant at the centre point. The legend GHANA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 500 SIKA is inscribed in large characters along the lower periphery. The design is executed in a clean, medallic style against a smooth, polished field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghana's wildlife coin program of the early 2000s targeted the international collector market aggressively, and this piece was struck by a European contract mint rather than domestically — Ghana has never operated a mint of its own. The leatherback turtle series drew on Ghana's Atlantic coastline, where leatherbacks do nest, though by 2003 nesting populations along West Africa's shores had already collapsed to functionally marginal numbers due to decades of egg harvesting and bycatch mortality.
