Owner Comments:

PCGS MS63RB George III Era bronze Anti-Slave Medal or "Penny Token" 1807, KM-Tn1, Eimer-984, plain edge, very rare uniface die trial, obverse, by Macaulay & Babington. An historic piece celebrating Britain's abolition of the slave trade in this year, variant with blank reverse which normally carries an Arabic inscription translating the legends. Eimer notes that the bronze pieces were made circa 1814 for distribution in the colony of Sierra Leone as token money, presumably a Penny). As struck, reddish brown, pebbly obverse die, reverse with small cuts. See regular issue piece in high grade above.
