| Obverse description | Central round hole surrounded by a raised crown above, with the denomination legend inscribed around the hole. The legend reads in Latin script 'QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND ONE PENNY' and below in Arabic script 'وَاحِد پَنّي', encircling the perforation. The design is plain and functional, with no royal effigy, reflecting the aniconic tradition used for British West African coinage. A beaded border runs along the outer rim. |
