How can I tell if my tenth of a penny B W Africa 1925 is H or KN? Please excuse my ignorance.

 There is a small mintmark somewhere on the coin. The letter H is for Heaton, and KN is for King's Norton - both in Birmingham, England. Same as happened in 1918 and 1919 on UK pennies.
 I found this 1925KN and it is on obverse just below central hole ...
