| Obverse description | The right portion of the note bears facing busts of Ghana's six founding leaders — Kwame Nkrumah, Ebenezer Ako-Adjei, Edward Akufo-Addo, Joseph Boakye Danquah, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey, and William Ofori Atta — rendered in intaglio over a fine guilloche underprint. The Independence Arch vignette occupies the central field, with the national arms at lower centre and a black star device at left.
