1 in stock
This historic ½d (half penny) definitive stamp of the Gold Coast was originally issued under British colonial administration, featuring a profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and a red map of West Africa. Following Ghana’s independence, the first nation in sub-Saharan Africa to gain freedom from colonial rule, the stamp was overprinted in bold black text: “GHANA INDEPENDENCE 6th MARCH 1957”. The overprint marked the official transition from the Gold Coast colony to the new nation of Ghana. Such stamps serve as a powerful symbol of African independence and are highly sought after by collectors specializing in colonial transitions, independence movements, and Queen Elizabeth II issues.
