“It's Theodosia Okoh, Not Her Sister” — Bank of Ghana Explains Controversial GH¢50 Portrait

So, whose face is really on Ghana's new fifty-cedi note? The Bank of Ghana has finally responded to the controversy! Following claims that the portrait looked more like Dr Letitia Obeng than her sister, Theodosia Salome Okoh, the central bank says the image is indeed that of Ghana's national flag designer. According to the Bank, the portrait was created using different photographs of Mrs Okoh. However, during the design process, her familiar head-tie was replaced with a hairstyle suitable for banknote engraving. The Bank admits these adjustments contributed to the resemblance to her sister. The new Heritage Series banknotes will enter circulation on December 1. So, what do you think? Does the portrait look like Theodosia Okoh? This is NTS24 — Your World, Clearer.
