Interesting fact
The 2001 Sierra Leone 1 Dollar (Lion) coin features a unique design that showcases the country's rich wildlife heritage. The obverse side of the coin features a lion's head, while the reverse side features a map of Sierra Leone with the national motto "Unity, Freedom, Justice" inscribed at the bottom. This coin is a non-circulating legal tender, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency but rather as a collector's item.
