| Obverse description | Central scene depicting a uniformed British officer extending his right hand in a handshake toward a freed slave, symbolising emancipation and fraternity. African huts are visible in the background, providing a narrative landscape context. A circular legend in Latin script surrounds the central device, referencing the abolition of the slave trade by Great Britain in 1807. The composition is rendered in a pictorial, medallic style characteristic of abolitionist token coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
