| Obverse description | Central design features a large five-pointed star in relief, occupying the majority of the coin's field, with the date 1958 displayed across the star's centre with digits flanking either side of the upper point. The legend GHANA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination SIX PENCE is inscribed in two lines beneath the star. Two raised dots appear to the left and right of the star in the lower field. The overall design is bold and graphic, reflecting Ghana's newly independent national symbolism. |

| Reverse description | Bare-headed right-facing portrait bust of Kwame Nkrumah, first President of Ghana, modelled in high relief with fine sculptural detail by engraver Paul Vincze. The legend CIVITATIS GHANIENSIS CONDITOR arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, identifying Nkrumah as founder of the Ghanaian state. The name KWAME NKRUMAH is inscribed along the lower arc, with two small five-pointed stars flanking the inscription in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in a dignified, neoclassical medallic style befitting a commemorative effigy. |
