| Obverse description | The national arms of Sierra Leone are depicted centrally, featuring two lions rampant as supporters flanking a shield charged with a lion passant above three torches, with two palm trees in the background. A scroll below the shield bears the national motto in the legend. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the motto UNITY FREEDOM JUSTICE appears on the ribbon below the shield. The date 2001 is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone's wildlife dollar series from this period was issued primarily for the collector and souvenir market rather than domestic circulation — the country's own currency was the leone, and these dollar-denominated pieces had no practical monetary role locally. The series exploited a brief international appetite for affordable wildlife-themed cupro-nickel dollars from small nations, most of which were produced under contract by foreign mints and sold through television shopping channels and mail-order catalogs in Europe and North America.
