| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central allegorical design featuring the large numeral '200' commemorating the bicentenary of Sierra Leone, with the two zeros rendered as circular medallions: the left depicting a sailing ship at sea and the right depicting a broken chain, both framing the trunk of a large tree bearing an open book among its branches. Two lines of text in the lower field read 'SLAVERY LASTED FOR YEARS / FREEDOM LASTS FOREVER'. The peripheral legend along the upper edge reads 'BICENTENARY OF SIERRA LEONE', with the dates '1787' and '1987' at the sides and the denomination 'ONE LEONE' along the lower edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sierra Leone's 1987 independence commemorative was issued during one of the more turbulent stretches of Joseph Momoh's presidency, a period marked by economic deterioration and growing pressure on the leone as a currency. The Bank of Sierra Leone leaned heavily on foreign minting contracts for its commemorative program throughout the 1980s, with pieces like this one destined almost entirely for the collector market rather than any domestic circulation.
