Ghanaian government flag, adopted in 1957, until 1962. Like, when the country was formed into the Union of African Nations, the Union flag was similar to the flag of Bolivia, but with two black stars, representing the countries. In May 1959, a third star was added. Locating how the stars were arranged, it is possible that they were arranged in a triangle, although a three-in-one formation in a line is more likely.
In 1962, before the dissolution of the Federation the following year, Ghana adopted a variant of the 1957 tricolor with white in place of yellow, after the colors of Kwame Nkrumah's ruling party People's Convention and modeled on the flag of Hungary. The original 1957 flag was reintroduced in 1966 after Nkrumah's overthrow at the National Liberation Council[2].
