10 Cedis

Ghana's first post-independence currency reform came in 1965 when Nkrumah replaced the Ghanaian pound with the cedi — then, just two years later, his government having been toppled by military coup, the new National Liberation Council redenominated again. This note belongs to that second reissue, issued partly to purge Nkrumah's imagery from circulation and to assert the junta's administrative break with his regime.

De La Rue printed the series in London, as they had the preceding issues. The P#12 watermark is the primary security feature — modest by the standards of the period, but consistent with what the Bank of Ghana was commissioning at the time.
