| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned effigy of King George V facing left, rendered in the style of Sir Edgar Bertram MacKennal's standard coinage portrait, with the king shown in robes and wearing an Imperial State Crown. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower portion of the field. The encircling legend reads GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP: in raised Latin lettering, interrupted by the bust. The coin's surfaces display original tin-brass lustre with warm golden toning consistent with the alloy composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trial pieces for British West Africa coinage were produced at the Royal Mint as compositional or die tests prior to approving a working specification — they were never intended for circulation and exist outside the standard production run entirely. The shift toward base metal alloys in West African subsidiary coinage during the early 1920s reflected both post-war metal economics and the colonial administration's interest in distinguishing local currency from metropolitan issues.
Tin brass as a trial composition was ultimately rejected for this denomination. The approved sixpence continued in cupro-nickel.
