Sierra Leone has issued commemorative dollars bearing Diana's image with considerable regularity since the early 2000s, and this 2022 piece continues that pattern — timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of her death in August 1997. The pieces circulate almost exclusively within the collector market; Sierra Leone's actual monetary economy runs on leones, not dollars, making the face value nominal at best.
