| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a commemorative scene marking the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, showing the standing effigies of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip observing two kneeling craftsmen working at a forge or smithy, with palm fronds visible in the background. The circumscription GOLDEN JUBILEE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II curves along the upper border, flanked by the dates 1952 and 2002 in the lower field. The denomination $10 appears at the bottom centre, accompanied by a small Golden Jubilee emblem, and decorative scroll ornaments frame the lower legends. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone issued an extended series of commemorative dollars in the early 2000s documenting episodes from Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee royal tour — each coin assigned a specific scene rather than a generic commemorative reverse. The blacksmith motif places this piece among the more unusual subjects in that run, recording a craft demonstration staged during the tour rather than a formal ceremonial moment.
KM#270 is one of dozens of types produced under the same Bank of Sierra Leone authority during this period, most struck by the Pobjoy Mint on contract.
