| Obverse description | Central field features the numeral denomination flanked on either side by a stylised effigy of the Bonga shad (Ethmalosa fimbriata), an economically significant fish of Sierra Leone's coastal lagoons. The two fish are depicted facing inward toward the central value. A circular legend around the periphery reads the country name, full denomination in words, and the date of issue, all in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | A bare-headed right-facing bust of Sir Milton Margai, first Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with fine facial detail. The portrait is boldly struck with a plain field behind the effigy. A circular legend surrounds the bust, bearing the national motto and the subject's full name and title, separated by raised dot stops. The dentilated border frames the entire design. |
