Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the sport of basketball, with a player in mid-dunk on the obverse side, surrounded by the Olympic rings and the words "2012 Summer Olympic Games, London" written in a curved line above the player's head. The reverse side features the coat of arms of Sierra Leone, along with the denomination and the year of issue. This coin is a great collector's item for anyone interested in Olympic memorabilia or numismatics.
