Ghana 5 cedis African Ounce Wildlife Flamingo Bird Fauna silver coin 2016

The 2016 Ghana 5 Cedis “African Ounce Wildlife – Flamingo” Silver Coin is a graceful wildlife issue celebrating one of Africa’s most elegant and recognizable birds. Part of the admired African Ounce series, this coin captures the beauty and serenity of the flamingo through refined engraving and an attractive antique-style finish. The reverse features a detailed depiction of a flamingo standing in shallow water with its long slender legs and elegantly curved neck. Fine feather textures create a realistic appearance, while the calm water surface and distant horizon add depth and atmosphere to the composition. Along the rim appears the inscription “Flamingo Silver Ounce 2016,” while the Africa-shaped emblem with the purity marking “1 oz Ag .999” is positioned below the bird, emphasizing the silver bullion character and African wildlife theme 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 design. The antique finish enhances the relief details and gives the coin a sophisticated sculptural appearance that beautifully complements the natural wildlife subject. Struck in fine silver, this collectible combines artistic craftsmanship with the fascination of African fauna, making it an appealing addition for collectors of bird-themed coins, wildlife art, and world silver numismatics.
