| Reverse description | The central device depicts two clasped hands rendered in bold relief, symbolising the commercial and diplomatic compact between the Sierra Leone Company and the peoples of Africa. The numeral 20 appears above the handshake and again below it, flanking the date 1791 at the base of the field. The circular legend TWENTY CENT PIECE runs around the periphery, reading from the lower left and continuing around both sides. The design is enclosed within a dentilated border consistent with the obverse. |
