About this banknote
The Bank of Ghana issued the 1 cedi banknote (Pick number 10d) on October 1, 1971. This note was part of the second cedi series introduced in 1967, following the demonetization of the first cedi to remove the image of former President Kwame Nkrumah after the 1966 military coup.
The obverse features a cocoa tree with pods on the right, symbolizing Ghana's significant cocoa industry. The reverse displays a shield on the left and swords on the right. The banknote measures 140 x 63 mm and includes a watermark of an eagle's head and star.
