Magnificently Symbolic Norse God Imagery
Obverse: The portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in a right facing pose, created by award-winning British sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998, is centered on the obverse. The effigy is contained within a circular frame, along with the coat of arms of Ghana and the inscriptions “REPUBLIC OF GHANA, “ELIZABETH II,” “2 CEDIS” and “2022.” The surrounding field is patterned with ornate Celtic symbols, with a pair of wolves (Odin’s familiars Geri and Freki) positioned below, flanking the name “ODIN.”
Reverse: The one-eyed Norse God Odin is depicted on the reverse wearing an elaborate horned helmet, with his raven familiars Huginn and Muninn perched on his shoulders and the triple-triangle Valknut symbol above his head. The Valknut is the symbol of the Fallen Heroes and also known as Odin’s Knot, in tribute to Odin’s role as the god who welcomed battle-slain heroes into Valhalla.
