I just collected 2pcs of Ghana's coins, what the distinctive of them, is these coins looks like renewd.

Have a look carefully, you'll find the coins' quality is not good, just could be F or VF, but the shine of them looks like UNC.

I think probably they were re-plated by some metall. But it made by private or by mint? Are there any expert know this background story, Thanks a lot ! ??? ???

The left are renewed, the right are normal.

Very interesting! They look like steel or nickel-coated. Are they magnetic? If not, I would guess they are privately nickelcoated. An official restruck of these denominations makes no sense in any way. Thanks for showing them!
If you have spares, please, send me a PM.

Maybe these are old coins that have been heavily cleaned/polished for being sold to tourists visiting Ghana in recent years.

Thanks Mr Paul Baker
