Interesting fact
The 10 Cents coin from Sierra Leone, issued between 1791 and 1796, is interesting because it was minted by the Sierra Leone Company, a British trading company that was established in 1790 to trade with the local Temne people. The coin was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring an image of a lion on one side and a crown on the other. It was not circulated widely and was primarily used for trade with the local population. Today, it is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint-condition coins selling for thousands of dollars.
