This listing is for the photographed British East Africa 1911 1 Cent Coin - AU/UNC Condition. 

This coin was issued for use in the East Africa and Uganda Protectorates, British-controlled territories in East Africa.

The obverse reads: GEORGIVS V REX ET IND:IMP: ONE CENT “Rex” means King, while “Ind:Imp” means Emperor of India. The reverse is particularly cool. It says: EAST AFRICA & UGANDA PROTECTORATES 1 1911 and features the stylized elephant tusks surrounding the central hole.
