Additional information

Sierra Leone has issued collector-oriented silver rounds under its legal tender framework since the early 2000s, a practice common among smaller nations that license their monetary authority to private minting operations — in this case almost certainly the Coin Invest Trust (CIT) or a comparable European contractor. The coins circulate nowhere and are produced entirely for the numismatic market.

Isis worship spread from Egypt across the Roman Empire by the first century AD, reaching as far as Roman Britain. Her cult outlasted most of the classical pantheon, surviving into the sixth century before Justinian ordered the closure of her last active temple at Philae in 535 AD.
