Notice the two stars on the obverse of these two coins.

It was only this morning that I noticed them myself.

They are not just decorative devices.

They represent the African Star of Freedom.

This occurs on Ghana's flag.

These stars are found on several of Ghana's coins.


This reminds me of the star found on various predecimal Australian coins.

For long enough I thought that the star was just a decorative device.

It is of course the Commonwealth star.

Stars on coins.

Thank you, Pabitra.

Above you see the latent image on the 1 cedi coin of 2022.

You posted that information on the World Coin News blog in December 2022.

When it introduced the new cedi, one cedi was worth more than 1 US dollar, but now it's less than 10 cents.
