10 Dollars FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa

Sierra Leone has issued commemorative coinage aggressively since the 1990s, often with no meaningful connection to the subject being commemorated — this piece, struck two years before South Africa hosted the first FIFA World Cup on African soil, is a straightforward licensing issue rather than a nationally significant release. The Bank of Sierra Leone's prolific output in this period was largely aimed at the collector market rather than domestic circulation.
