1 Shilling

Descrizione del dritto	A large five-pointed star in outline dominates the centre of the coin, with the date divided by the upper points of the star, reading '19' to the left and '58' to the right within the field. The legend 'GHANA' arcs along the upper periphery in bold capital letters, while the denomination 'ONE SHILLING' is inscribed along the lower periphery, separated from the star by two raised dots on either side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition is clean and graphic, reflecting the modernist aesthetic of Ghana's first coinage series.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Ghana's 1958 coinage was the first issued under the new republic, replacing British West African currency following independence in March 1957. The Royal Mint in London struck these transition-era pieces — a common arrangement for newly independent African states that lacked domestic minting infrastructure. The shilling denomination itself was carried over directly from the colonial system and would survive only until decimalization swept it out in 1965.
