Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2006 Sierra Leone 10 Dollar silver coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II giving a Christmas message is that it has a unique error. The coin was minted with a mistake in the inscription, where the word "Christmas" is misspelled as "Chrismas." This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and valuable variation of the coin.
