Owner Comments:
The silver 10 Shilling coin is the star of the Bank of Ghana's first Proof Set, which highlights Ghana's first national coinage. Around the edge of the coin is the phrase 6 MARCH 1957 - INDEPENDENCE OF GHANA. I think this coin may well have never been removed from the original box: while the obverse features some mottled toning, the reverse is pristine.
It's one of four graded by NGC at PF66, with none finer.
