Comment
This was previously grouped with KM#Tn7 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 Tn7 which is its current number and this one got Tn6.Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Ackey - George III 1796 from Ghana › Gold Coast (1821-1957) made of Silver (.925) weighing 15.55 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 minting was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange. The coin's weight of 15.55 grams also made it a convenient and practical choice for everyday transactions. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item and a piece of history that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of Ghana.
