Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Shilling - George V (Trial Strike) 1936 from British West Africa made of Bronze is that it is a rare and valuable coin. It was minted in 1936 as a trial strike, which means it was not intended for circulation and was only produced in small quantities. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in bronze, rather than the more common silver or copper, makes it even more unique and valuable.
