Nigeria became a republic in 1963.
In 1959, Nigeria was under British rule, which ended in 1960.
Nigeria became an independent Dominion in 1960.
Have a read here;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_of_Nigeria .
& here;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_Nigeria .
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 guess this should stay as it is now.
