Obverse description	The heraldic shield of the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa occupies the central field, divided into two quarters: the upper quarter displays a starry sky with a crescent moon over a coastal landscape, while the lower quarter features a three-masted sailing ship at sea. The shield is supported on the left by a standing Native African figure holding a spear, and on the right by a standing figure of Mercury wearing a winged helmet, both flanking the central arms. A crest above the shield depicts an elephant surmounted by a fortified tower. The entire composition is encircled by a beaded border, with the legend reading around the periphery.
