| Reverse description | The central device depicts two clasped hands in high relief, symbolising trade and cooperation between the Sierra Leone Company and the African peoples, rendered with fine anatomical detail showing differing skin tones on the two hands. The numeral 1 appears both above and below the central handshake motif, flanking the design vertically. The circular legend ONE DOLLAR PIECE runs around the periphery, with the date 1791 inscribed in the lower exergue. The field is flat and mirror-like, consistent with proof striking, and a bold beaded border frames the entire composition. |
