Ghana

Explore the vibrant philatelic heritage of Ghana with our carefully selected collection of collectible postage stamps. Situated along the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, Ghana—formerly known as the Gold Coast—has a rich postal history that reflects its journey from colonial rule to independence. The country's first stamps were issued in 1875 under British colonial administration. Following independence on March 6, 1957, Ghana released its inaugural stamps by overprinting existing Gold Coast issues with "GHANA INDEPENDENCE 6th MARCH 1957" and another set featuring the new president and a map of the country. Since then, Ghana has produced a diverse array of stamps celebrating its cultural heritage, natural beauty, and significant national events. This collection offers a unique glimpse into Ghana's identity, making it a valuable addition for both seasoned collectors and those new to philately.
