Gold Coast ackey

Dentuck

Anyone have pictures of a nice ackey from the Gold Coast? If you do, please post. I'm also curious if any board members have ever tasted the fruit of the akee, from whose seeds this coin was named.

There are three half-ackey pieces listed in Heritage archives. One's a proof.

No, it sounds like it might taste rather ackey.

There was a full set of 1796 Ackeys sold by Spinks today on eBay as part of a live auction. I managed to find one of them, but searches through the closed auctions don't find them. I do have a link to one of them and if you use the next lot arrow in the description section you will be able to find the others.
