| Obverse description | Octagonal gold proof coin commemorating the bicentenary of Sierra Leone. At centre, a large stylised numeral '200' incorporates two circular medallions within its zeros: the left depicting a sailing vessel, the right depicting a reclining lion. A large spreading tree rises above the numerals, symbolising growth and liberty. A broken chain motif appears beneath the central design. The curved legend 'BICENTENARY OF SIERRA LEONE' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the founding and commemorative dates '1787' and '1987'. The inscription 'SLAVERY LASTED FOR YEARS / FREEDOM LASTS FOREVER' appears in two lines below the central device, with 'ONE LEONE' along the lower rim. |
