Gold Coast Aerogrammes Detailed Listing
British Crown Colony from 1874; extended over the years to include the Ashanti and the North region and later
British Togoland under British Mandate. On March 6, 1957, Gold Coast became an independent state under the name "GHANA".
This listing draws heavily on both the EAPC "Katalog der Aerogramme von Afrika 1995" and Kessler's "Catalog of Aerograms", Volume 1. In order
to provide as consistent a listing as possible, the assigned catalog numbers
are as close to those of the EAPC catalog as possible. Thanks to the many
individuals who contributed to both catalogs.

still uncommon. |
