Description from the seller
BRITISH WEST AFRICA. London. ½ Penny. 1936. Edward VIII (1936).
- Value: ½ Penny.
- Reign: Edward VIII (1936).
- Year: 1936.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: EDWARDVS VIII REX ET IND: IMP: · ONE HALFPENNY · HALF PENNY in Arabic. Reverse: BRITISH WEST AFRICA · 1936.
- Grade: MS64 (PCGS).
½ Penny coin with a central circular hole. The obverse features the royal crown above the hole and the denomination in English and Arabic script, between two curved ornaments. On the reverse, two interlocking triangles form a hexagram whose lower point separates the numerals 19 and 36. Both sides have a denticulated border. The specimen retains its mint luster and well-defined reliefs, with gray toning and golden hues, fine dark speckling, and small scattered marks in the fields, with no perceptible circulation wear. The absence of a mint mark below the hole indicates the Royal Mint in London. The coin belongs to the colonial series issued in the name of Edward VIII during his brief reign.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
