Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar (Sierra Leone Company; type "1") 1791 coin from Sierra Leone made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time when Sierra Leone was a British colony and was used as a form of currency for the Sierra Leone Company, a British trading company that was established in 1790. The coin features the image of a lion on one side and the British monarch, King George III, on the other. It is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
