The 2023 1 oz Ghana African Leopard Silver Coin is the seventh and newest release in Scottsdale Mint's illustrious Ghana African Leopard series, which is one of the longest-running wildlife sovereign silver series of a U.S. private mint.
This coin is crafted from .999 fine silver in what is essentially a proof-like finish and struck as Ghana's official legal tender. The image on the front showcases the African leopard, the top predator of the continent, which has been a source of cultural and natural heritage for the Ghanaian people for centuries.
This is a meaningful wildlife collectible and a good 1 oz silver investment, as it is minted by Ghana's national mint and has a worldwide mintage of only 10,000 coins. The 2023 edition is considered the last episode of the series' current run for series collectors who are looking for the full collection of 2017-2023.
The Reverse Profile — The Leopard
On the other side is a close-up, front-on view of an African leopard that is gazing directly at the viewer, with a bold composition that puts the full force of the animal's gaze in the very center of the coin.
Scottsdale Mint's proof-like dies allow the artist to portray the leopard's distinctive golden coat with black rosettes in fine detail, with each rosette in the pattern unique, as in nature.
Below the portrait, there is the year "2023" written. The background is filled with a geometric pattern that helps to define the scene and gives a sense of depth but does not distract from the animal's focus.
The background is also filled with a geometric pattern, creating a sense of depth and contrast to the animal's focus.
The Obverse Profile — Ghana Coat of Arms
On the obverse is the Ghanaian National Coat of Arms, which is a quartered shield divided by St. George's Cross with a heraldic lion in the center symbolizing Ghana's Commonwealth heritage.
Key national symbols are shown on the 4 quadrants, which represent Osu Castle (Ghana's seat of government), traditional ceremonial weapons (authority), a cocoa tree (Ghana's major agricultural export), and a gold mine (Ghana's mineral wealth).
The inner circle is surrounded by a leopard print background.
The design is completed with the national motto of the country, "FREEDOM AND JUSTICE," and the inscriptions "20 CEDIS · 1 TROY OZ · REPUBLIC OF GHANA · 999 FINE SILVER."
The African leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the most widespread of big cats (including in Ghana) and is generally considered to be the strongest pound-for-pound predator among the big cats.
Leopards can run up to 60 mph over short distances and are known to carry prey as heavy as 100 kg (220 lbs) up to the treetops, which other large predators cannot.
They have unique "fingerprints" called rosettes on their distinctive coats, which give excellent camouflage in the forests and savannas of Ghana.
In spite of this strength, the African leopard is in real trouble in terms of its conservation.
Over the last 20 years, the population of leopards in West Africa has decreased 50% to just about 350 mature leopards remaining in the region, making this species Endangered, according to IUCN.
Hunting for leopard skins and body parts, considered as spiritual talismans, and habitat loss are the two main threats to leopards in Ghana in particular.
The Ghana African Leopard coin series was designed in partnership with the Ghana government, which is an effort to raise awareness about the great need for conservation of this magnificent animal, the leopard.
Data from Panthera—West African Leopards Now Endangered, World Land Trust—African Leopard and the IUCN Red List.
The Ghana African Leopard series was introduced by Scottsdale Mint in 2017, with one piece issued each year, each with a different design of a leopard on the reverse side, with no two years' releases ever being the same.
In 2020, there was a gold variant introduced.
Following this release, the series was temporarily suspended, with the 2023 coin being the seventh in the lineup, making the 2017 - 2023 issue a limited run of the series.
