Some 32 objects from London's British Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum were looted from an Asante king in the 19th century.
The partnership with the Ghanaian museum comes after Asante King Otumfuo Osei Tutu II visited London last May to attend the coronation of King Charles.
They will be loaned to the Manhyia Palace Museum in the city of Kumasi under two separate three-year agreements... and are set to form part of the Ghanaian king's silver jubilee celebration later this year.
The museums acknowledge the "cultural, historical and spiritual significance" of the objects, but some museums say they are banned by law from permanently returning contested items in their collections.
Greece has repeatedly called for the return of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon sculptures - housed at the British Museum - that were taken from the temple by a British diplomat in the 19th century.
The museum's trustees have said they would consider a loan to Greece if Athens acknowledges its ownership of the sculptures, which Greek governments have refused in the past.
As for the Ghanaian gold, associate professor at the University of Ghana, Obadele Kambon, told Reuters the return is "monumental," but that "there's still a battle to fight... for the true and proper restoration of our dignity and of all the things stolen, not loaned back to us."
