Owner Comments:

This coin is equal to 1/5 of a New Cedi. For background on Ghana's switch to the New Cedi in 1967, see my comments on the 1967 Half Pesewa.

The obverse features a cluster of cocoa pods, 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.

There are no other examples of this coin in the NGC census. The PCGS census shows one example at PF64, and none higher.
