| Reverse description | A tall, slender palm tree dominates the centre of the reverse, its fronds spreading broadly across the upper field and its base surrounded by tropical ground cover and foliage. The date 1920 is positioned at mid-field, flanked on either side of the palm trunk. The legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs across the upper periphery, while TWO SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower periphery, both separated from the central design by a raised inner circle with decorative scroll terminals. The mintmark KN, denoting the Kings Norton Metal Company, appears in the legend field. The entire reverse displays vibrant iridescent toning characteristic of the tin-brass alloy. |
