| Obverse description | A large five-pointed star dominates the centre of the obverse, with the date 1958 flanking the star's upper points — '19' to the left and '58' to the right. The legend 'GHANA' curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'HALF PENNY' is inscribed in two lines across the lower field. Two raised dots flank the star at mid-field, and the entire design is bordered by a continuous beaded rim. The composition is the work of engraver P.K.K. Quaidoo. |
