| Reverse description | Central design features a tall oil palm tree rising from a grassy mound, rendered in fine detail within a circular border with decorative scroll flourishes at either side. The date is divided by the trunk of the palm tree, with the numerals flanking it on each side. The legend BRITISH WEST AFRICA arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while TWO SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower arc, both contained between the inner circle and the outer beaded border. The mint mark, where present, appears within the reverse legend. The overall composition is bold and emblematic, reflecting the colonial character of the issue. |
