The currency of Ghana changed for the second time in quick succession, and postage due stamps of 1958 had been revalued in 1965 and then revalued again in 1968. However, confusion that might have been caused by a stamp with three separate currencies caused the issue to be scrapped, but three denominations were released at a single post office, before they were pulled. These are complete mint, never hinged, panes of 72 stamps of all three denominations with a sheet and cylinder number. The selvedge has a bit of minor damage and there is some offset on the back from the overprinting process "for the record". Mentioned in a footnote in Scott, but listed in Stanley Gibbons.
