| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Sierra Leone occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two rampant lions, flanked by palm trees, with a landscape scene at the base. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto UNITY FREEDOM JUSTICE in raised lettering. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE runs along the upper periphery, and the date 2005 appears in the lower field. The design is contained within a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic dual-perspective composition commemorating the Battle of the Atlantic. In the upper half, a four-engine Allied maritime patrol aircraft — rendered in fine relief — flies over a naval convoy, with warships visible at the waterline. The lower half depicts the view through a U-boat periscope sight, with depth charges descending through the water toward the submarine. The legend THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination $1 appears in the lower field. |
