Informazioni aggiuntive	Trial pieces for the British West African penny series were produced ahead of the 1920 transition from bronze to copper-nickel, a compositional shift driven partly by wartime metal economics that had disrupted bronze supply chains across British colonial minting programs. The Royal Mint and its contract minters needed approved reverse dies before full production runs could begin. Reverse trials of this type were never released into circulation and exist in very small numbers, typically retained in official or institutional collections.
