1 Dollar Vancouver Olympics

Sierra Leone has issued commemorative dollars under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, producing large runs of themed coins — Olympics, wildlife, royalty — almost entirely for the collector market rather than circulation. This piece was struck ahead of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, with Sierra Leone holding no formal connection to the event beyond the licensing fee paid to acquire the rights to use Olympic imagery.

KM#360 is one of several Vancouver-themed issues in the Sierra Leone series from this year.
