For a little history:
The sawfish is an aquatic guardian of strength in Akan culture, embodying the formidable authority of leadership akin to that of a king. It’s said that "When a sawfish attacks another fish, the victim never escapes,” a proverb expressing the inescapable and decisive power of the ruler. Not only is this majestic creature’s image potent in symbolism but it also proudly adorns the West African franc as a central figure, signifying wealth and governance, further cementing its status as a cultural icon.
In the hands of the Akan, this fierce sea dweller was not just a creature of the deep but a symbol cast in brass to balance the scales of trade and tradition. As gold dust gleamed against these weights, the sawfish stood as a testament to an economy rich in culture and heritage, seamlessly blending the spiritual and economic realms of West African societies.
