Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Shillings - George VI (Trial Strike) 1952 from British West Africa made of Nickel brass is that it is a rare and valuable coin. It was minted in 1952 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 is made of nickel brass, a copper and nickel alloy, makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were typically made of silver or copper.
