10 Dollars Elizabeth and Philip visit blacksmiths

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.
