Interesting fact
The 1999 Sierra Leone 10 Dollar coin featuring Charles Darwin is a unique collector's item because it contains a rare error. The coin was mistakenly minted with a portrait of Charles Darwin facing the wrong direction, which was not corrected until a later edition was released. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a valuable and rare piece of numismatic history.
