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