| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Sierra Leone is rendered in high relief at the centre of the field, featuring a shield supported by two lions rampant, with palm trees above and a ribbon scroll below. The circumferential legend 'REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, bordered by a fine dentilated rim. The date '2006' appears in the lower exergue in bold numerals. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone's "dollar"-denominated silver issues of the mid-2000s were produced almost entirely for the collector market by overseas minting contractors — the Bank of Sierra Leone itself had no established domestic minting infrastructure. The Impala series falls squarely in that category, issued under legal tender authority but never intended for circulation in a country whose everyday currency was the leone.
KM#413 is one of dozens of similar wildlife-themed issues the Bank licensed during this period, a revenue arrangement common among smaller sovereign issuers.
