Two types are known.
Obverse
Die 1 - low relief, less hair on the portrait, script slightly thinner. No full stop at the end of P.V, V is narrow.
Die 2 - high relief, more hair on the portrait, script slightly thicker. P.V. with full stop at the end, V is wide.
Reverse
Die A - script slightly thicker.
Die B - script slightly thinner.
Combinations
1. 1+A
2. 2+B

Nkrumah disliked the samples of the type 1+A, for they show him almost bald. The dies were re-engraved so portrait shows more hair
