| Reverse description | A tall, detailed palm tree with spreading fronds and ground vegetation at its base occupies the central field, set within a circular frame. The date is displayed in two parts flanking the tree trunk at mid-height, with the year numerals divided by the palm. The legend 'BRITISH WEST AFRICA' arcs along the upper periphery, and 'ONE SHILLING' curves along the lower periphery, both separated from the central motif by a beaded border. Ornamental scroll devices appear at the left and right of the inner circle where the frame meets the denomination legend. |
