Description from the seller
BRITISH WEST AFRICA. Birmingham. 1 Penny. 1936. Edward VIII (1936).
- Denomination: 1 Penny.
- Reign: Edward VIII (1936).
- Year: 1936.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: EDWARDVS VIII REX ET IND: IMP: · ONE PENNY · واحد پيني · H. Reverse: BRITISH WEST AFRICA · 1936.
- Grade: MS64 (PCGS).
1 Penny coin with a central circular hole. On the obverse, the royal crown presides over a symmetrical design, with the value in English and Arabic script between two curved ornaments; the H mint mark of Heaton & Sons appears just below the hole. The reverse features a hexagram of interlaced triangles framing the hole, with the territory’s name around it and the date at the bottom. Both sides have a beaded border. The coin retains sharp relief and mint luster, with gray toning and coppery and golden hues, more visible on the obverse. Fine dark speckling and small surface marks can be seen in the fields, with no perceptible circulation wear. It belongs to the colonial issues that circulated in the name of Edward VIII during his brief reign, with the crown as the main obverse motif.
