| 背面描述 | The truncated bare-headed effigy of Sir Milton Margai, first Prime Minister of Sierra Leone, faces right in bold relief, occupying the central field. The engraver's initials 'MR' appear at the base of the truncation. The upper legend reads 'UNITY·FREEDOM·JUSTICE' arching around the portrait, while the lower legend 'SIR MILTON MARGAI' curves along the bottom of the field. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Sierra Leone's first national coinage was issued in 1964, the year the country established the leone as its currency following independence from Britain in 1961. The Bank of Sierra Leone was created specifically to manage this transition, replacing the West African Currency Board that had served the region as a colonial monetary institution since 1913.
The WACB's dissolution was a deliberate act of economic decolonization replicated across British West Africa in the early 1960s, with Ghana, Nigeria, and The Gambia all breaking from the shared currency arrangement within the same decade.
