| Obverse description | Central circular hole surrounded by a raised crown positioned at the top. The circular legend around the hole reads EDWARD VII KING & EMPEROR and ONE TENTH OF A PENNY in Latin script, with the Arabic equivalent عُشِر الپَنِي inscribed beneath in a bilingual arrangement. As a double obverse pattern, this die face is identical to the reverse, with no differentiated reverse design, making it a rare trial piece likely produced to evaluate the proposed holed coinage format for British West Africa. |
