Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1911 British West Africa George V 1/2 penny coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The coin was minted in 1911, just a few years after the end of the Boer War, which had a significant impact on the British colonies in Africa.

Despite these changes, the coin remains a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
