Bank of Ghana issues new GHC1 coin


BANK OF GHANA UPGRADES THE ONE GHANA CEDI COIN


Bank of Ghana has upgraded the GHC1 coin with enhanced security features.


The Bank will issue the upgraded GHC1 coin into circulation from Monday, 12th December 2022.


The coin is similar to the existing GHC1 coin in shape, form and images; the Coat of Arms in front and the Scale of Justice at the back. The upgraded GHC1 coin is bi-metallic with an outer gold and inner silver.


The coin has a pronounced rough edge and incorporates a latent image, which appears in a rectangular form below the Scale of Justice at the back. The latent image changes from a radiating star to a One Ghana cedi symbol sandwiched between two stars when tilted.


The existing and the upgraded GHC1 coins will co-circulate until the existing coin is gradually withdrawn. 


The Bank encourages the public to accept the coins and use them.




Thank you
