| Reverse description | Two clasped hands, one European and one African, are depicted at center in fine relief, symbolizing the trading partnership between the Sierra Leone Company and the local population. The numeral 10 appears above the handshake motif and again below it, flanking the central device vertically. The legend TEN CENT PIECE runs around the periphery in large, widely spaced letters. The date 1791 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the second numeral 10. A beaded rim borders the entire design. |
