Comment
This was previously grouped with the KM#Tn6 as the same coin without a KM#, and most NGC certified coins only mark them as "PARLIMENT" variety, and this is why they where considered the same. But when the KM#s were given, the normal one was separated into the Tn7 which is its current number and that one got the Tn6.Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Ackey - George III 1796 from Ghana › Gold Coast (1821-1957) made of Silver (.890) weighing 15.86 g is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency during the colonial era in Ghana, specifically during the time of British rule. It was minted in 1796 and features an image of King George III on one side and the coat of arms of the Gold Coast on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item that provides a glimpse into Ghana's rich history and cultural heritage.
