1 in stock
This historic stamp from the Gold Coast features a deep blue engraving of Lake Bosumtwi alongside the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Originally issued as part of the definitive series for the colony, it was overprinted to commemorate Ghana’s independence on 6th March 1957, marking the transition from colonial Gold Coast to the sovereign state of Ghana—the first sub-Saharan African colony to achieve independence. The bold black overprint “GHANA INDEPENDENCE 6TH MARCH, 1957” transforms this colonial issue into a key piece of African liberation history. A must-have for collectors of independence-themed, Commonwealth, and overprint issues.
