| Aversbeschreibung | Central field occupied by the interlaced cursive royal cypher 'GR' (Georgius Rex) in high relief, surmounted by a Tudor-style crown at the top of the coin. The date 1796 is divided by the crown and arcs along the upper periphery. An olive or laurel wreath frames the central design on both sides, tied with a ribbon bow at the base, the whole composition set within a beaded border. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Company of Merchants Trading to Africa was a loose association of British traders granted a monopoly over the Gold Coast forts in 1750, replacing the dissolved Royal African Company. The Ackey series was intended as a trade currency for transactions along the West African coast, where Spanish, Portuguese, and locally accepted currencies created a chaotic exchange environment. Trial strikes like this piece were produced ahead of a proposed coinage run, submitted for approval before full production was authorized — a standard assay process of the period that frequently resulted in pieces never advancing to circulation.
KM#Pn5 and Pn6 designations indicate two distinct trial varieties exist for this denomination, likely differing in die alignment or edge treatment.
