| Obverse description | Draped bust of President Kwame Nkrumah facing right, modelled by engraver Cecil Thomas, occupying the central field of the scalloped flan. The engraver's initials C·T· appear discretely on the truncation. A circular Latin legend runs along the upper periphery reading CIVITATIS GHANIENSIS CONDITOR, with the name KWAME·NKRUMAH inscribed along the lower periphery, each separated by a six-pointed star device. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic, medallic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century British coinage design. |
