50 Cedis

Ghana's 50 Cedi note occupies an odd position in the current series — large enough to matter in daily transactions but frequently confused with other denominations in the same family due to the palette similarities that have drawn public complaints since the series rolled out. Thomas De La Rue has printed Ghanaian currency since the early independence era, a relationship that has outlasted multiple currency reforms including the 2007 redenomination that lopped four zeros off the old Cedi and reset the numbering entirely.

P#49 is cotton substrate on a relatively conventional security specification for a mid-range denomination — watermark and thread, no polymer upgrade despite Ghana having experimented with polymer on lower values.
