Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2001 Sierra Leone 10 Dollar (Colored Lion) non-circulating coin made of Silver is that it features a unique colorized design of a lion, which is not commonly seen on coins. The use of color on the coin adds an extra layer of visual appeal and makes it stand out from other coins. Additionally, the coin's weight of 28.28 grams is relatively heavy for a coin of its size, which adds to its collectibility.
