| 裏面の説明 | 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. |

By 1952, British West Africa as a monetary union was already living on borrowed time — Ghana's independence was five years away, and the West African Currency Board's days were numbered. This brass pattern was struck as a compositional trial, likely exploring alternatives to the existing bronze as postwar metal markets fluctuated. It never reached circulation.
Pattern pieces from the Currency Board issues are poorly documented in surviving mint records, making definitive attribution of striking quantity nearly impossible.
