| Averslegende | ·SIERRA LEONE· UNITY FREEDOM JUSTICE 1 ONE LEONE·1964 |
| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents a bold right-facing portrait bust of Sir Milton Margai, the first Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, rendered in high relief with a close-cropped head and strong facial features characteristic of commemorative portraiture. The legend 'UNITY·FREEDOM·JUSTICE·' curves along the upper periphery, while 'SIR MILTON MARGAI' is inscribed in two lines along the lower arc. The field surrounding the portrait is deeply mirrored, consistent with proof coinage, and the portrait is set off by a raised inner border. The overall composition is formal and dignified, befitting a founding statesman. |

Sierra Leone's Leone currency was introduced at independence in 1964, replacing the British West African pound at a rate of two Leones to one pound. The Bank of Sierra Leone was established that same year specifically to issue the new national coinage, and this proof striking represents the inaugural presentation of the denomination. Proof sets from this first issue were distributed primarily to collectors and foreign dignitaries rather than entering circulation, which is why the circulation strikes — produced in far smaller numbers than one might expect — are actually scarcer in problem-free grades than the proofs.
