Reverse description The central device features two clasped hands in high relief, symbolising commerce and fraternal accord between the Sierra Leone Company and the African peoples — a motif emblematic of abolitionist and mercantile ideals of the era. Above the handshake, the numeral 100 appears in large characters, and a second 100 is repeated below the device, flanking the date 1791 at the bottom of the field. The circular legend ONE DOLLAR PIECE runs along the periphery, with letters arranged radially around the design. A prominent milled border frames the entire reverse.
