DESCRIPTION
The Ghanaian cedi is the official currency in Ghana since 1965 when that replaced the British West African pound after the Nation Independence in 1957. The official currency symbol is GH₵. Since 1958, the Bank of Ghana has been issuing banknotes, but most of them have been changed year after year, either because of security changes or a new governor takes over the bank’s management. Since the cedi had been used as official currency in 1965, different denominations of cedi notes have been issued between ¢1 to ¢5,000. Since 2002, the ¢10,000 and ¢20,000 cedis notes have been added to the banknotes in circulation.
The 50 Ghanaian cedis note front design features the Big Six, who were six leaders of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), the leading political party in the British Gold Coast colony, which later became the Republic of Ghana, the Independence Arch in Accra, a background with the Black Star of Africa, The National Coat of Arms, a gold bullion seal, a cacao bean and the denomination. The reverse note side presents the Osu Castle, also known as Fort Christiansborg in Osu , a gold bullion seal and the denomination. This note is part of the 2012 – 2017 series, and its color is brown and tan on multicolor underprint.
