British West Africa 1933 3 Pence in Silver

I have a British West Africa, 1933, 3 pence in silver as opposed to tin-brass. Anybody know what this is? I can't find any reference to it.

Thanks, Marty Green

Welcome to numista.

Which coin did you find in the catalogue. Please give us the link?

Why do you think it's silver? Maybe it's just electrolyzed in a school experiment?

I can't find any reference to it.

Probably because it doesn't exist, the last silver 3d was 1920.

Would be quite a find if real, try to confirm the metal…

..but don't get your hopes up, as Sjoelund said, most likely post-mint plated.

It would be a real find, like other people said here.
But do a XRF-test first.
