Nigeria became a republic in 1963.

In 1959, Nigeria was under British rule, which ended in 1960.

Nigeria became an independent Dominion in 1960.

The first coins of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was introduced on 1 January 1973, when Nigeria became the very last British Commonwealth country to change over to decimal currency - 100 Kobo = 1 Naira.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria had banknotes denominated in Pounds & Shillings though.

We need to decide on the proper ruling authorities for Nigeria. Currently, we have
Elizabeth II (1952-1959)
Federal Republic (1959-date)

neither of which are correct. A full list would be:
Elizabeth II (Colony and Protectorate), 1952-1954
Elizabeth II (Federation, British Rule), 1954-1960
Elizabeth II (Federation, Independent), 1960-1963
Federal Republic, 1963-

but this is rather complicated and may not be needed in full.

​Coins were produced under British rule in 1959, 1961 and 1962 only. No need for the 1952-1954 date range.
Queen Elizabeth II's reign in Nigeria should be indicated as follows;

1952 - 1960 & 1960 - 1963.

Nigeria was no longer under British rule in 1961, as Nigeria was an independent Dominion from 1960 to 1963.

I just made quick fix, we have to give it a thought.

I guess this should stay as it is now.
