| Reverse description | The reverse displays a six-pointed star (Star of David form), composed of two interlocking equilateral triangles, centrally positioned around the circular hole, serving as the emblem of the Federation of Nigeria as used between 1952 and 1960. The circumferential legend 'FEDERATION OF NIGERIA' arches around the upper portion of the field, with the date '1959' inscribed in the lower field flanked by two raised dots. The design is enclosed within a toothed (dentilated) rim consistent with the obverse. |
