The Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has urged Ghanaians to invest in the Otumfuo Commemorative Gold Coin when it goes into sale to the public at all branches of the Access Bank from April 4, this year.

He explained that gold was a store of value, and against the background that the commemorative coin had the official authorisation, investing in it, therefore, held good for anyone who purchased it.

Dr Opoku Prempeh made the call when he was presented with the commemorative gold coin at a brief ceremony in his office last Tuesday.

“We are looking forward to you selling the gold coin so that we can also purchase some,” Dr Prempeh told the delegation from the E ON 3 Group that called on him to present the coin.

He added: “ It is always good to store your money in that [gold] and I will encourage every able Ghanaian willing and with the resources to have this value stored for you.”

“You buy it today and I’m sure in five years it is going to appreciate in value,” he stated.

Commendation

He commended the E ON 3 Group for doing a remarkable job by taking the coin to a number of personalities in the country including the President, the Vice President and living past Presidents.

The minister said the honour of presenting the gold coin attested to the value the nation placed on the contribution of Otumfuo Osei Tutu to national development.

He said the symbol of peace inscribed on the coin was touching.

“ Thank you for putting your good name on a good cause,” Dr Prempeh told the E ON 3 Group and its partners.
