The Bank of Ghana (BoG) will relaunch the gold coin to boost financial inclusion and gold ownership in Ghana.
Governor Addison announced the move during the 125th Monetary Policy Committee briefing held on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.
He said the relaunch is part of the “Cedi@60” programme, marking 60 years of Ghana’s national currency.
The gold coin initiative will allow every Ghanaian to own a piece of gold, celebrating Ghana’s gold heritage.
“Every Ghanaian should be able to buy some form of gold,” the BoG Governor said at the event.
This relaunch follows strong interest in the original Ghana Gold Coin introduced as a public investment option.
The coin was created to help Ghanaians invest in gold, absorb excess cash, and support the local currency.
It also aimed to diversify the country’s financial portfolio and stabilise the cedi during foreign exchange pressures.
With global gold demand rising, Ghana continues to prioritise gold in reserves and economic policy strategies.
The coin’s return reflects BoG’s commitment to building public trust and creating low-risk savings opportunities.
Economists say this could help families save and strengthen Ghana’s local gold investment market.
The Cedi@60 campaign includes exhibitions, education and forums to highlight Ghana’s currency journey and its impact.
The Bank hopes these efforts will deepen financial literacy and celebrate six decades of economic independence.
