1791 SIERRA LEONE COMPANY ANTI SLAVERY ONE PENNY PIECE VERY NICE S-547

Description

From my anti-slavery collection I offer a Sierra Leone copper one penny piece dated 1791. The clasped hands celebrated the fact that it was a refuge
for freed slaves from the British Empire, runaway slaves from the United States and Africans discharged from the British armed forces. Unfortunately the first settlers were just about wiped out by tribal attacks and disease. The colony was re-established under the control of the Sierra Leone Company which issued this coin, and then transferred to the British Crown in 1807.
