The investment price of the Bank of Ghana’s (BoG) gold coins continues to decline, a trend attributed to the appreciation of the Ghana cedi against the US dollar.

The Central Bank introduced the gold coins as a strategic measure to discourage the hoarding of US dollars and absorb excess liquidity in the market, with the ultimate goal of strengthening the cedi against major foreign currencies.

As of Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the BoG announced the following updated prices for its gold coins:

• The 0.25 oz coin is now selling at GH¢10,028.93.

• The 0.50 oz coin is priced at GH¢18,841.00, down from GH¢19,323.97.

• The 1.00 oz coin is selling for GH¢37,958.61.

The Ghana gold coin is available in three denominations; one ounce, half ounce, and quarter ounce and can be purchased through commercial banks.
