Znane są dwa typy.

Kość 2 - wysoki relief, więcej włosów na portrecie, grube pismo daleko od rantu.
Rewers
Kość A - cienkie pismo.
Kość B - nieco grubsze pismo.
Kombinacje:

2. 2+B

Nkrumah nie lubił próbek typu 1+A, ponieważ pokazywały go prawie łysego. Matryce zostały ponownie wygrawerowane, aby portret pokazywał więcej włosów Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Two types are known.
Obverse
Die 1 - low relief, less hair on the portrait, thin script closer to rim.
Die 2 - high relief, more hair on the portrait, thick script far from rim.
Reverse
Die A - thin script.
Die B - script slightly thicker.
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
