| Obverse description | A crouching lion faces left in the central field, rendered in fine relief with a prominent mane and tail arched over its back, positioned atop a rocky ground line. The legend SIERRA LEONE COMPANY curves along the left and right periphery, while the word AFRICA appears in the lower exergue separated by a horizontal line. The overall design is executed in a bold, engraved style characteristic of late 18th-century British trade token coinage. |
