Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr Ernest Addison has launched the Ghana Gold Coin (GGC) in Accra on Friday, September 27, a development which marks a significant milestone in the Bank of Ghana's history.

He said this initiative is a testament to the central bank's unwavering commitment to deepen financial markets by offering other avenues for savers to invest.

It also serves as a significant reminder of Ghana's rich gold heritage, he added.

He explained that the GGC is a coin manufactured from dore gold that has been refined to 99.99% purity, which gives the coin the original gold colour.
