| Reverse description | A centrally placed palm tree divides the coin's field, with the four-digit date split on either side of the trunk in two pairs of numerals. The denomination TWO SHILLINGS appears in the lower portion of the field beneath the tree, while the issuer's name BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. The overall design is simple and heraldic in character, with the palm motif serving as the primary emblematic device for the colonial territory. |
