About this banknote
The Bank of Ghana issued the 5 cedis banknote in 1965 as part of the country's transition from the Ghanaian pound to the decimal-based cedi currency system. This change was implemented under President Kwame Nkrumah's administration to establish a distinct national currency.
The obverse of the note features a portrait of President Kwame Nkrumah at the upper right, with the Ghanaian coat of arms in the underprint. The reverse depicts Parliament House in Accra, with a statue of Nkrumah in the front garden. The banknote measures 147 x 70 mm and includes a watermark of Kwame Nkrumah.
