Reverse description A bold six-pointed star (hexagram) formed by two interlocking equilateral triangles dominates the field, with the central round hole at its geometric centre. The legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by border beading. The date 1952 is placed in the lower exergue beneath the hexagram, with two small raised dots serving as separators on either side. The overall design is crisp and well-struck, consistent with a minted pattern piece.
