2025 Ghana 1 oz Ag Martyrdom of the 12 Apostles: James (Color)
This striking silver coin from 2025 represents a powerful moment in early Christian history, focusing on James, the son of Zebedee. Struck on behalf of the Republic of Ghana, the piece is minted with one troy ounce of 0.999 fine silver and features a proof finish that highlights its detailed artistry. It belongs to a limited series dedicated to the ultimate sacrifices of the twelve apostles. The reverse side of the coin captures a dramatic and solemn scene, portraying James in his final moments before his execution by sword. Historically recognized as being martyred around the year 44 A.D., James holds a significant place in cultural history, particularly in Spain where he is referred to as Santiago and revered as the symbolic guardian of the Iberian Peninsula. In contrast to the dramatic narrative on the reverse, the obverse features the modern, left-facing portrait of King Charles III. The inscriptions on the coin confirm its face value of 5 Cedis, the issuing nation of Ghana, the year 2025, and the weight and purity of the precious metal.
