| Reverse description | A tall, centrally placed oil palm tree in high relief dominates the field, its fronds spreading symmetrically and its base flanked by tropical ground vegetation. The word SPECIMEN appears above the date 1936, which is positioned on either side of the palm trunk in the central field. The upper legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs around the periphery, while the lower legend ONE SHILLING is displayed on a curved ribbon or scroll at the base, all in raised Latin letters within a milled border. |
