Owner Comments:
This coin is 2.5/100 of a New Cedi. For background on Ghana's switch to the New Cedi in 1967, see my comments on the 1967 Half Pesewa.
A cluster of cocoa pods is highlighted on the obverse, a nod to Ghana being a longtime major world producer of cocoa. The shield at the heart of the national Coat of Arms adorns the reverse.
The NGC census shows only one example graded higher, at PF66.
