60 Years of Ghana's Coinage: From Shillings to Cedis, New Cedis, and now Ghana Cedis
2007: 20 Pesewas

Owner Comments:

Here's a 20 Pesewa coin, issued as part of the 2007 currency reform.

20 Pesewas equal 20/100 of the new Ghana Cedi, and hence 200,000 of the old Pesewas. Two cocoa pods, one showing the beans inside, adorn the obverse, representing Ghana's longtime position as a major world cocoa producer. The complete national Coat of Arms is on the reverse.

This example was in the raw Ghana Cedi lot I bought earlier in 2019 and, like the others in that lot, currently shows as Top Pop in the NGC Census.
