Ghana Brand Creates Crypto Stamp for Otumfuo Osei Tutu II
Ghana Postal Service Issues First-Ever “Crypto Stamp” for King’s Anniversary.
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of ceremonial sovereign Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s rule, the Ghana Post Company issued the very first “crypto stamp.” In 1999, the monarch ascended to the throne of Asantihene and ruled for twenty-five years over the Ashanti people. The Asantehene throne, for those who are unaware, is a conventional gilded stool referred to as the Sika ‘dwa.
The Ghana Post Company honored the momentous occasion by dedicating cryptocurrency stamps to the reign of His Majesty. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Minister of Communications and Digitalization of Ghana, lauded the Post Company’s inventive commemorative concepts.
The Minister stated that the crypto stamps are a fusion of contemporary technology, including the blockchain, and a rich cultural heritage. “Therefore, this commemorative stamp embodies our national pride and identity.” Furthermore, it underscores the intrinsic connection between our conventional ideals and exuberant expectations. “Reminding us that the future of our nation is constructed upon the cornerstone of our abundant cultural heritage,” he stated.
Bice Osei Kuffour, the managing director of Ghana Post Company, asserted that an unwavering dedication to innovation will perpetually flourish. Kuffour stated, “As we unveil the commemorative (crypto) stamps honoring His Majesty’s reign today, we reaffirm our dedication to excellence and innovation in delivering the stories of our nation to the world.”
According to Kuffour, the crypto stamps will function as a link between the elder and younger generations in Ghana. The Ghans Postal Company has reported the unveiling of four distinct stamps in remembrance of Tutu II’s ascension, one of which is a cryptocurrency stamp that utilizes blockchain technology.
Each of the four stamps will serve a dual purpose: to promote and preserve the nation’s heritage. The inscription on the crypto stamps read, “Preserving the legacy of the Ghanaian royal family and promoting the West African nation internationally.”
