At a Glance — A Documented Minting Error

This is the 2017 Ghana African Leopard 1 oz .999 fine silver coin — specifically, the error variant struck with a denomination of 100 Cedi instead of the intended 5 Cedi. Approximately 5,000 of the 100 Cedi error coins were released into the market before the discrepancy was identified; the remaining inventory was recalled and re-struck with the corrected 5 Cedi denomination. The coin is legal tender in the Republic of Ghana, struck by Scottsdale Mint in Arizona on behalf of the Ghanaian government. It is supplied in a Scottsdale Mint protective plastic capsule.

How a Denomination Error Creates a Numismatic Rarity

The 2017 Ghana Leopard was initially intended to carry a 5 Cedi denomination — the standard face value for this series. An error in the die preparation resulted in the first portion of the mintage being struck as 100 Cedi. The planned total mintage was 50,000 coins; only approximately 5,000 of the 100 Cedi variant reached the market before the recall. Scottsdale Mint — founded by Josh Phair in Scottsdale, Arizona and a major producer of legal-tender bullion for sovereign clients including Ghana — struck the re-issued 5 Cedi coins after the error batch was withdrawn. The surviving 100 Cedi error coins are now a recognised rarity in the Ghana Wildlife series.

The Leopard Design — Obverse and Reverse

The reverse depicts an African Leopard poised on a rocky outcrop, partially concealed by tall grass — a realistic naturalistic composition characteristic of Scottsdale Mint's Ghana Wildlife series. The obverse carries a stylised leopard-skin pattern behind the Queen Elizabeth II effigy, with the denomination '100 Cedi' prominently struck — the error that defines this coin's numismatic significance. The coin is Brilliant Uncirculated, measuring 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver.

Error Coin Economics — Rarity Premium Over Bullion

With approximately 5,000 examples in existence, the 100 Cedi Ghana Leopard trades at a premium that reflects numismatic scarcity rather than silver content alone. Error coins from official government minting programs are among the most consistently sought-after categories in the collector market: they are documented, verifiable, and finite in a way no annual bullion issue can replicate. The Scottsdale Mint capsule and the coin's legal-tender status provide authentication confidence. Buyers of this coin are acquiring a documented piece of minting history — physical silver with an error provenance that is both rare and unambiguously real.
