| Obverse description | A lion passant guardant occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with a finely detailed mane and powerful musculature, depicted in a crouching posture upon a rocky ground line. The design, engraved by Conrad Heinrich Küchler at the Soho Mint, reflects the neoclassical artistic style characteristic of late 18th-century British coinage. The legend SIERRA LEONE COMPANY arcs around the upper periphery, while the word AFRICA appears in the lower exergual area. The coin's milled border frames the composition with a neat beaded or dentilated edge. |
