You know the story of the stork bringing babies.

A Greek myth told of storks stealing babies after Hera (goddess of women, marriage, family, and childbirth) turned her rival into a stork and then that stork-woman tried to steal Hera’s son. In Egyptian mythology, the soul of a person was believed to be a stork and the return of the stork in the spring meant the soul had returned to the person.

In Slavic mythology and religion, storks carried unborn souls from Vyraj (a place where birds go for the winter and souls go after death) to earth in the spring and today the story of a stork delivering babies persists.

German folklore told of storks finding babies in caves or marshes and bringing them to households in a basket on their backs or held in their beaks. The babies would then be given to the mother or dropped down the chimney. Households would indicate when they wanted children by placing sweets for the stork on the windowsill. The legend is ancient, but was popularized by a 19th-century Hans Christian Andersen story called The Storks. From there the folklore spread around the world to the Philippines and countries in South America. Birthmarks on the back of the head of a newborn baby are sometimes referred to as stork-bites.

The reverse: The obverse features again the treasure chest theme with baby toys and soft clouds around.

The obverse: of the coin has the inscriptions: “REPUBLIC OF GHANA” – the issuing country, “TWO CEDIS” – the face value, “2024” – the year of issue and “1/2 OZ 9999 FINE SILVER” – the weight and fineness of the precious metal.
