| Additional information |
Sierra Leone has issued commemorative coinage under foreign licensing arrangements since the 1990s, with the actual minting typically contracted to European facilities — most commonly in Germany or Poland — rather than struck domestically. This Osiris issue belongs to a broader wave of Egyptian-themed bullion and collector pieces that flooded the market in the early 2020s, largely driven by demand from the German-speaking collector base where ancient Egyptian iconography has historically commanded strong retail interest.
The KM#520 reference places it within a numbering sequence so crowded with licensed issues that Krause cataloguers have struggled to maintain consistent attribution across Sierra Leone's modern commemorative output.
