The Star of David (Magen David) has origins in Judaism and Judean culture that predate the Freemasons and their organization as a movement. Therefore, the Star of David is not an endemic Masonic Symbol in the way that the Trowel is an endemic Masonic Symbol. However, while the Star of David has a very clear meaning in Judaism and very clear origins in Judaism, the origins and applications of the Star of David in Masonic circles are shrouded in mystery.

Why does the British West Africa penny coin have the Star of David on it when Israel wasn't formed until 1948?

The "Star of David" is a Jewish symbol, not exclusively an Israeli symbol, and references to the "Star of David" date back about a thousand years. The symbol on the reverse of British West African coins is described as a "hexagram" in coin catalogues, as distinct from the "Star of David". The people of the countries formerly comprising British West Africa are mostly Christian or Muslim, with many of the remainder having traditional religions, so the "Star of David" is not very likely to appear on their coins as a religious symbol. The significance of the "Hexagram" is not explained.
