60 Years of Ghana's Coinage: From Shillings to Cedis, New Cedis, and now Ghana Cedis
2016: 5 Pesewas

Owner Comments:

Here's a 5 Pesewa coin, issued in the wake of the 2007 currency reform.

5 Pesewas, or 5/100 of a Ghana Cedi, are equivalent to 50,000 of the old Pesewas. The theme of Music is represented on the obverse, which shows a male Ghanaian blowing a traditional horn. 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.
