Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse is entirely blank, comprising a plain, unadorned field with no devices, legends, or inscriptions of any kind. This intentionally unfinished reverse is characteristic of an obverse trial piece, produced solely to test the obverse die design, effigy rendering, and strike quality of the proposed George V sixpence for British West Africa. The surface exhibits pronounced multicoloured toning ranging from deep purple and grey to orange and silver, consistent with the tin-brass composition and long-term oxidation.
