| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Sierra Leone occupies the central field, featuring a shield bearing three torches above a zigzag line and a seated lion, flanked by two rampant lions as supporters, each standing beside a palm tree on a grassy compartment. A flowing scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto in three segments: UNITY, FREEDOM, and JUSTICE. The legend REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2001 appears in the lower field; a small PM mint mark is visible at the lower left of the design. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed, high-relief frontal portrait of a lion's head with a full, flowing mane dominates the central field, rendered with naturalistic engraving that emphasises the texture of the fur. The series title THE BIG FIVE arcs along the upper portion of an inner circle, while the denomination $10 appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. The species identifier LION is inscribed to the right of the portrait within the inner field. The broad outer border is decorated with a continuous band of stylised African tribal motifs and geometric patterns, lending the design a distinctly regional character. |
