Informazioni aggiuntive	British West Africa's coinage was administered not by the Colonial Office directly but by the West African Currency Board, established in 1912 — meaning this 1911 penny predates the very institution that would govern the currency for the next half-century. It was struck under earlier arrangements, when the four territories of Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia shared a unified coinage but lacked a single coordinating authority to manage it. KM#6 is the first year of the George V series, transitioning from the Edward VII type issued from 1907.
