背面描述	Central circular hole mirroring the obverse, with a raised crown at the top of the inner border. The surrounding legend reads EDWARD VII KING & EMPEROR and ONE TENTH OF A PENNY in Latin script, with the Arabic denomination عُشِر الپَنِي inscribed below the hole. Being a double obverse pattern piece, this face replicates the obverse die exactly, confirming the experimental nature of this unique or near-unique trial striking for the proposed British West Africa coinage series.

附加信息	This piece exists as a minting error rather than an intentional issue — a double obverse die cap, where a coin blank was struck between two obverse dies instead of the correct obverse-reverse pairing. The British West Africa coinage of this period was produced under contract, primarily at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, where production volume and mechanical consistency occasionally gave way to such errors entering circulation across Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia. Contract mint errors from this issuer are seldom documented with the precision applied to Royal Mint mistakes. Survivors are genuinely scarce.
