About this banknote
The Bank of Ghana issued the 10,000 cedis banknote (Pick 35a) on September 2, 2002. This note was part of a series introduced to address inflation and facilitate higher-value transactions. The 10,000 cedis denomination was among the highest in circulation at that time.
The front of the note features portraits of Ghana's "Big Six" leaders—Kwame Nkrumah, Ebenezer Ako-Adjei, Edward Akufo-Addo, Joseph Boakye Danquah, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey, and William Ofori Atta—who were instrumental in the country's independence movement. The reverse side depicts the Black Star Gate, a monument in Accra symbolizing Ghana's sovereignty. The note measures 155 x 78 mm and was printed by De La Rue.
