| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic football scene in high relief, showing two players — a striker in mid-kick and a goalkeeper diving to defend the goal — in front of a rendered goal net that occupies the central field. The curved legend '2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA' arcs along the upper periphery. The denomination '1 DOLLAR' is inscribed in two lines at the base of the design, with a decorative stop flanking the legend on either side. The composition effectively captures the movement and tension of match play in a bold, illustrative style. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone has issued commemorative coinage tied to major international sporting events since the 1990s, typically through arrangements with the Pobjoy Mint or similar private minting houses acting on behalf of the central bank. These are not circulating issues in any practical sense — they enter the collector market directly and rarely, if ever, reach Sierra Leonean hands as currency.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the first held on African soil, hosted across ten South African venues from June through July.
