10 Ghanaian Cedi Banknote (Bank Of Ghana)

10 Cedis Cedi (Issued 2019)

The 2019 issue of the Ghanaian 10 Cedis banknote remains current legal tender, continuing to circulate as part of the Bank of Ghana’s modern Cedi series. Introduced as a redesigned and security-enhanced note, this issue bears the official date of 4th March 2019 and represents the Bank of Ghana’s commitment to producing durable, counterfeit-resistant currency. The note is readily identifiable by its predominantly yellow-green colour palette and its striking group portrait of Ghana’s founding fathers. For anyone holding this note and looking to exchange Ghanaian Cedis in the United Kingdom, it is important to know that current-series notes such as this are accepted through specialist currency exchange services.

On the front, the note is dominated by a detailed group portrait on the right-hand side depicting the “Big Six” — the six founding fathers of Ghanaian independence: Ebenezer Ako-Adjei, Edward Akufo-Addo, Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey, Joseph Boakye Danquah, William Ofori Atta, and Kwame Nkrumah. These six figures are rendered in fine engraved detail, each shown in portrait style and arranged in a group composition that fills the right portion of the note. The overall colour scheme of the front is a warm yellow-green, transitioning subtly across the face of the note with layered guilloché background patterns providing texture and security. To the left and centre, a depiction of a building — identifiable as the Freedom and Justice Arch area in Accra — is engraved in clean, precise linework. Below this architectural vignette, a cocoa pod, Ghana’s iconic agricultural symbol, is depicted in golden-brown tones. The denomination is prominently displayed in two locations: the top-left corner reads “GH¢10” in bold green numerals, and the bottom-right features a large blue “GH¢10” denomination marker accompanied by the text “Ten Cedis” in deep blue lettering. The issuing authority is clearly printed at the top centre as “BANK OF GHANA” in bold uppercase. The Ghana coat of arms appears centrally on the lower portion of the note. The Governor’s signature is printed beneath the title “GOVERNOR” along with the date “4th March 2019”, and a statutory legal tender statement is printed in small text below the signature. The serial number “VD7665935” appears twice — in green on the upper left and in red vertically along the right-hand edge — providing a distinctive dual-serial feature. A security thread is embedded vertically through the note, and a small red registration device is visible to the left of the central building vignette.

The reverse of the note is rendered in shades of yellow-green and features a large-format architectural illustration as its centrepiece. The dominant image is of a modern multi-storey building depicted with clean horizontal lines and large glazed windows, identifiable as the Bank of Ghana’s headquarters building in Accra, surrounded by palm trees at its base. In the foreground of this composition, a smaller and older-style building is depicted with the words “BANK OF GHANA” clearly visible on its façade, rendered in blue tones that contrast with the surrounding green palette. The denomination “10” appears in very large, lightly printed numerals across the lower-left of the reverse, and “GH¢10” is printed in the upper-right corner. The text “Ten Cedis” appears vertically along the upper-left margin. The issuing authority name “BANK OF GHANA” is printed in bold dark lettering in the lower-right area. A small holographic or optically variable device is visible to the right of the modern building illustration. The background of the reverse features faint guilloché patterning in light green tones, adding depth and security to the overall design.
