| Obverse description | A freed enslaved man stands in high relief at centre, arms raised and outstretched holding broken shackles and chain links, set against radiating rays of light. Palm trees and a thatched hut appear in the left background, with tropical foliage to the right, and discarded manacles and fetters scattered on the ground at his feet. A circular legend frames the upper field, with the date and commemorative inscription in the exergue below. |
