The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Post Company Limited, Bice Osei Kuffour says Ghana is the first country in Africa to have a crypto stamp.

Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly called "Obour", in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo" show Tuesday morning, noted that his outfit will on Saturday, May 4, launch a new stamp to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Overlord of the Ashanti Kingdom, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

The new stamp, he explained, captures all the memorable works and achievements of the Asantehene and tells the story of his reign as King of the Ashantis.

Mr. Osei Kuffour further revealed that as part of celebrating Otumfuo's local and global impact, Ghana Post will inaugurate a crypto stamp which will be the first of its kind in Africa.

He noted that the crypto-stamp offers numerous benefits, some of which he stated is "when you use your phone to scan the stamp, it will tell the historic stories about Otumfuo. The stamp will also give you a digital image of the stamp on your phone to use as maybe your screensaver...Furthermore, since it is a crypto stamp, you can also trade the stamp on the crypto stamp market".

He stressed; "None of this can be found in Africa; the Otumfuo stamp will be the very first crypto stamp" in Africa.
