| Additional information |
Sierra Leone redenominated its currency in 2022, replacing the old leone at a rate of 1,000 to 1. These coins effectively launched a new series from scratch, the first circulating cent-denomination issues the country had produced in decades. KM#503 sits at the base of that new decimal structure.
