Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Penny - George VI (Brass Pattern) 1952 from British West Africa made of Brass is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike to test the design and metal composition of the coin, and only a small number of samples were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
