The coin is silver in colour, the same size as and Old British One Penny. It is a British West Africa One Penny coin 1940. It has a circular hole in the middle of the coin. On the front the crown in the middle at the top, with GEORIVS VI REX ET IND: IMP: On the rear you have a large Star of David surrounded by BRITISH WEST AFRICA 1940? Has anyone got anymore information on this coin? A value (if any) and a grading would also be appreciated.. cheers Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 01/12/2010 6:18 pm There are three mintmark varieties for this coin: "plain" ( Royal Mint), "H" (Ralph Heaton & Sons, Birmingham) and "KN" (King's Norton Metal Company, Birmingham). "KN" is slightly scarcer, but in this condition, it'll only be a dollar or two either way. The mintmark location would be just below the hole on the obverse (crown) side; the pics aren't quite clear enough to tell if there's a mintmark there or not. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
