Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sierra Leone 10 Cents coin (1791-1805) is that it was minted by the Sierra Leone Company, a British trading company that was established in 1791 to trade with the local Temne people. The company was granted a charter by the British government to mint coins for use in the colony, and this 10 Cents coin was one of the denominations produced during that time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in the colony, and its use was eventually discontinued. Today, it is a rare and valuable collector's item.
