"An Act For The Abolition Of The Slave Trade" 200th Year since 1807 when Great Britain first enacted laws against the slave trade. See Sierra Leone for a token struck at the time (Boulton, Soho) announcing the event. Edge lettering (from the famous Wedgwood designed Abolitionist token) "I'm I Not a Man and a Brother?" (see USA tokens for examples). Regular strikes were made in considerable numbers in bi-metallic copper nickel / nickel-brass. A 1k strike of yellow/red gold was also issued. This silver issue had 7,095 struck and Pieforts were also issued.
