Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Shilling - George V (Trial Strike) 1936 from British West Africa made of Brass is a rare and unique coin that was minted as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was only produced in small quantities for testing purposes. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction. In fact, one of these coins sold for over $10,000 at a recent auction, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
