Ghanaian gospel musician Piesie Esther has appealed to the government to consider featuring her image on the country's newly introduced cedi banknotes, particularly if a GH¢500 denomination is introduced.
The award-winning gospel singer made the appeal during an interview on Angel FM Kumasi, where she expressed her desire to be recognised for her contribution to Ghana's gospel music industry.
In a humorous but confident remark, Piesie Esther stated: “My head should be on the new cedi notes to represent the gospel industry, especially if they print 500 cedis.”
Her comments come at a time when Ghana is discussing the newly unveiled Ghana Cedi Heritage Series, which was officially launched by President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
The redesigned banknotes feature prominent Ghanaian personalities, historical landmarks and Adinkra symbols intended to celebrate the country's history, culture and national identity. The new notes are expected to enter circulation on December 1, 2026.
However, the Bank of Ghana has announced eight denominations, ranging from GH¢1 to GH¢200, with no GH¢500 note included in the new series.
