Obverse description Right-facing draped bust of Kwame Nkrumah, first President and founder of Ghana, rendered in high relief with naturalistic modelling; the engraver's initials 'C.T.' appear at the truncation. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading 'CIVITATIS GHANIENSIS CONDITOR' in the upper arc and 'KWAME·NKRUMAH' in the lower arc, separated by small five-pointed stars. The design was executed by British sculptor Cecil Thomas.

Reverse description A large five-pointed star dominates the central field, with the date '1965' split across the lower interior of the star, '19' to the left and '65' to the right. The denomination legend 'TEN' arcs boldly across the upper field above the star, while 'PESEWAS' curves along the lower field beneath it. Two small pellets flank the star at mid-field. A continuous beaded border encircles the entire design.
