Summary
| Description |
English: Two one-tenth pence coins from British West Africa, bought at a local gem fair. The upper coin is from 1936, and the lower from 1939, scanned simultaneously to show the front back sides of the coin.
The upper coin is inscribed with GEORGIVS V REX ET IND:IMP:, and below that, ONE TENTH OF A PENNY. There is also an Arabic inscription at the bottom that translates the value. The lower coin has the Star of David on it, with BRITISH WEST AFRICA 1939. The only difference between the two coins is that the earlier one is inscribed with George V, and the latter with George VI. |
