About this banknote
The Bank of Ghana issued the 1 cedi banknote in 1965 as part of the country's transition from the Ghanaian pound to the decimal-based cedi system. This change was implemented on July 19, 1965, under the leadership of President Kwame Nkrumah, to establish a distinct national currency.
The front of the note features a portrait of President Kwame Nkrumah on a multicolored underprint, accompanied by images of flowers and a pineapple. The reverse side displays the Bank of Ghana building in Accra. The note measures 170 x 64 mm and includes a watermark of Kwame Nkrumah for security.
