Comment
Krause lists these coins as Copper-Nickel with a fineness of .999. This is assumed to be an error on their website.Interesting fact
The Triceratops coin from Sierra Leone is a unique collector's item because it features a rare depiction of the Triceratops dinosaur with three horns on its head, whereas most depictions of the Triceratops show only two horns. This error in the design was intentionally made by the mint to create a distinctive feature for the coin.
