In 1844 - 1913 Ghana, as ...well as a number of states on the coast of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, were a British colony, which was called the "Gold Coast". On the Gold Coast, the pound sterling was used as the currency. In 1913, a new currency, the West African pound, was introduced. In 1957, Ghana gained independence and in 1958 the government carried out a monetary reform, as a result of which the Ghana pound was put into circulation at a 1: 1 exchange rate with the West African pound.
