| 表面の説明 | This obverse trial piece features a central circular hole, above which a crown is positioned, with the denomination rendered in both English and Arabic script arranged around the perforation. The legend GEORGIVS V REX ET IND: IMP: arcs around the upper field, identifying the issuing monarch as George V, King and Emperor of India. The denomination ONE PENNY appears in English, complemented by the Arabic inscription وَاحِد پَنّي below, reflecting the bilingual nature of the coinage intended for use across British West Africa. The design is characteristic of the holed coinage series produced by the Kings Norton Metal Company for British colonial territories. As an obverse trial, the corresponding reverse is left entirely blank. |

Trial pieces for British West Africa coinage were produced at the Royal Mint as part of the approval process before full production runs commenced. This 1920 obverse trial would have been struck to test and confirm the die alignment, relief depth, and collar fit — not for circulation, but for official sign-off. The West African Currency Board, established in 1912, controlled the region's coinage across Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and Gambia as a unified monetary zone.
Surviving obverse trials from this series are genuinely scarce. Most were retained by the Mint or destroyed after approval.
