Ghana 5 cedis African Ounce Wildlife Crane Bird Fauna SP70 PCGS silver coin 2017

The 2017 Ghana 5 Cedis “African Ounce Wildlife – Crowned Crane” Silver Coin is a stunning wildlife commemorative dedicated to one of Africa’s most elegant and recognizable birds. Part of the popular African Ounce series, this issue celebrates the beauty of African fauna through refined engraving and an impressive antique-style finish. The reverse features a highly detailed portrait of a crowned crane standing gracefully within a natural savannah landscape. The bird’s most striking feature — its magnificent crown of golden feather plumes — radiates outward in fine engraved lines, while the long neck, delicate beak, and layered plumage are rendered with exceptional realism. The inscriptions “Crowned Crane,” “Silver Ounce,” and “2017” appear along the rim, while the “1 oz Ag 999” marking is positioned near the lower field, emphasizing the silver purity and bullion character of the issue.

The obverse displays the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a royal tiara, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “REPUBLIC OF GHANA,” and “5 CEDIS.” Decorative dotted borders and the Ghanaian coat of arms complete the elegant composition. The coin’s antique finish enhances the depth of the engraved textures and gives the wildlife design a sophisticated sculptural appearance. Certified by PCGS as SP70, this coin represents a flawless Specimen example with outstanding strike quality and preservation. Combining African wildlife artistry, numismatic craftsmanship, and certified collectible quality, this crowned crane issue is a superb addition to collections focused on birds, fauna, and world silver coins.
