1 Dollar Sierra Leone Company, type '100'

The Sierra Leone Company was a British abolitionist venture chartered in 1792 to govern the Province of Freedom settlement near Freetown — one of the earliest organized attempts to establish a colony for freed Black Loyalists and liberated enslaved people. These dollar-denominated tokens were struck in anticipation of that colony's commerce, intended to function as a local currency independent of Spanish milled dollars. The gold-plated copper issue, KM#6b, was the least precious of the denominations produced, yet it circulated in one of the most politically charged monetary environments of the late 18th century.

The Company lost its charter to the Crown in 1808, when Sierra Leone became a British Crown Colony.
