| Reverse description | The armorial bearings of the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa occupy the central field, featuring a divided shield with a trading vessel under sail in the lower half and a fortress with a lion passant in the upper half. The shield is surmounted by a crest comprising an elephant supporting a tower flying the Union flag. Two African figures serve as supporters on either side, each standing on an ornate scrollwork base that incorporates a cherub's head at the foot. The circular peripheral legend FREE.TRADE.TO.AFRICA.BY.ACT.OF.PARLIAMENT.1750. runs around the entire design within a raised inner border. |
