| Obverse description | At right, front-facing portrait busts of Ghana's six independence leaders — Kwame Nkrumah, Ebenezer Ako-Adjei, Edward Akufo-Addo, Joseph Boakye Danquah, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey, and William Ofori Atta — are rendered in intaglio against a multicolour guilloche underprint. The Independence Arch vignette occupies the centre of the note, flanked by a black star at left and the national coat of arms at lower centre. A vertical security thread is embedded to the left of centre, with the denomination and issuer legends distributed across the face in both intaglio and letterpress. |

Ghana's 20 Cedi note has been part of the redenominated currency introduced in 2007, when the Bank of Ghana stripped four zeros from the old cedi to create the Ghana cedi — a move designed to restore confidence following years of inflationary erosion. The P#48 designation places this within the later polymer-adjacent cotton series, though De La Rue's involvement here predates the eventual shift some denominations made toward polymer substrate.
Thomas De La Rue has printed Ghanaian currency since independence-era issues, making this a long-standing commercial relationship rather than a recent procurement decision.
