| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of Sierra Leone prominently centered in the field, depicting two lions rampant as supporters flanking a shield charged with a torch between two wavy lines, with two palm trees rising behind. A scroll below bears the national motto UNITY FREEDOM JUSTICE. The legend REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2008 inscribed in the lower field. A fine toothed border frames the entire design, and the Pobjoy Mint mark (PM) appears at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed, naturalistic depiction of a honey badger (Mellivora capensis) in a crouching, forward-moving posture occupying the central field, rendered with carefully engraved fur texture. The name HONEY BADGER is inscribed in two lines in a stylized, hand-lettered font at the upper left of the central device, with the denomination $1 below to the left. Surrounding the central motif is a decorative border composed of primitive rock-art style silhouettes of various African wildlife, evoking petroglyphic imagery and adding an ethnographic artistic dimension to the design. |
