| Reverse description | The central device features two clasped hands in handshake, symbolising the commercial and humanitarian accord between the Sierra Leone Company and the local population, with fine cross-hatching detail on the cuffs. The numeral 1 appears above the clasped hands and again below them, with the date 1791 inscribed in the lower exergue. The circular legend ONE CENT PIECE runs around the periphery, divided by the central motif, all within a beaded border. |
