1/10 Penny - George VI

Aversbeschreibung	The obverse is dominated by a central circular hole surrounded by a raised ring, with the denomination legend ONE TENTH OF A PENNY arcing across the upper field within a decorative scroll cartouche, surmounted by a royal crown at the top. The monarch's name and title GEORGIVS SEXTVS REX appear in Latin as the outer legend, distributed around the full circumference of the coin. Below the central hole, the Arabic legend عشر البني (one tenth of a penny) is inscribed in the lower field, reflecting the bilingual character of the coinage for use in British West African territories. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. No royal effigy is present; the design is purely typographic and symbolic.

Zusätzliche Informationen	British West Africa's fractional coinage served four territories simultaneously — Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia — administered under a single currency board that had issued unified coinage since 1907. By 1952, George VI was already gravely ill; he died in February of that year, making this one of the final issues to bear his effigy before the series transitioned to Elizabeth II. The King never saw the coins struck.
