Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse presents the portrait of an elderly Ghanaian man, creating a calm and dignified composition rooted in everyday life rather than political spectacle. At the left, the Bank of Ghana star emblem emerges among layered ornamental forms and security structures, while geometric motifs frame the scene with rhythmic precision. The arrangement gives ordinary human presence a quiet ceremonial weight.
Reverse
The reverse presents the historic Larabanga Mosque, one of West Africa’s oldest and most iconic Sudanese-style earthen structures. Its sculptural towers and organic architectural forms rise through an intricate arrangement of decorative patterns, creating a visual dialogue between faith, local craftsmanship, and centuries of continuity. The restrained composition gives the structure an almost ceremonial presence within the banknote’s design language.

For collectors, this note belongs to Ghana’s Second Cedi period and captures a distinctive chapter where banknote design moved beyond state symbolism toward scenes rooted in ordinary life and national heritage.
