| Reversbeschreibung | The denomination numeral '6' above the word PENCE appears prominently in the centre of the field, enclosed within an open wreath of oak leaves tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date appears in the lower exergue below the wreath. A small mint mark 'H' for the Heaton Mint, Birmingham, is visible beneath the date on certain issues. A beaded border runs along the rim. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
British West Africa's silver sixpence series was struck at both the Royal Mint in London and the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, with Heaton-struck pieces identifiable by an 'H' mintmark. The 1913–1919 window spans the whole of the First World War, during which metal supplies and mint capacity were under considerable strain — production was frequently diverted or curtailed to meet military coinage demands across the empire.
The .925 silver standard matched sterling, a deliberate policy choice to maintain exchange parity with British coinage circulating alongside it in the West African Currency Board's territory.
