Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 10 Cents (Sierra Leone Company) 1791-1796 from Sierra Leone made of Gold plated copper is that it was minted during a time when Sierra Leone was a British colony, and the coinage was overseen by the British Royal Mint. This coin was part of a series of coins minted for use in the colony, and it features a unique design that reflects the colony's history and culture. Despite being made of gold-plated copper, the coin has a relatively low value compared to other coins made of solid gold, but it is still a highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
