Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Pence - George V 1913-1919 from British West Africa is that it was minted during a time when the British Empire was still using the silver standard, which means that the coin was made of silver that was 92.5% pure, also known as sterling silver. This is indicated by the ".925" mark on the coin. This fact makes the coin a unique piece of history, as it represents a time when many countries were transitioning away from silver-based currencies and towards more modern, fiat-based systems.
