Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Pence coin from British West Africa is that it was made of a unique alloy called Tin brass, which is a combination of 79% Copper, 20% Zinc, and 1% Tin. This alloy was specifically chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were intended to be used in the tropical climates of British West Africa.
