British West Africa – 1 Shilling 1914 – George V – Silver Wartime Issue A historic silver one shilling coin from British West Africa, issued in 1914 during the early days of World War I under the reign of George V. This coin features the iconic palm tree design on the reverse, symbolising West Africa, with the denomination “ONE SHILLING” and the date 1914 clearly displayed. The obverse (not shown here) bears the portrait of King George V. The design is both elegant and symbolic of British colonial history in Africa.
