Comment
These coins were minted on the same planchets as the British .Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1976 Sierra Leone 2 Leones FAO circulating commemorative coin is that it features a unique design that represents the country's rich agricultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Sierra Leonean farmer working in a rice field, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a rice plant, symbolizing the country's main agricultural crop. This design was created to commemorate the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and its efforts to promote agricultural development and food security in Sierra Leone and around the world.
