20/- SG48
catalogued at £140 mint and £180 in used

Four
sets were issued during this reign, the best one by far
is the 1921-1924 set of 12 stamps, with two very nice
high values. One being the 15/- with a value of
£150 in mint and £400 in used condition. The second being
the £2 green and orange stamp catalogue at £425 in mint
and £1,100 in used condition, this undoubtedly is the
rarist stamp from the Gold
Coast.
