| Reverse description | A bare, unadorned effigy of Dr. Siaka Stevens, first President of Sierra Leone, faces right in bold relief against a polished mirror field. The portrait is rendered in a bold, modernist style with clean lines and no additional ornamentation. The arc legend '24TH AUGUST 1905-1975' curves along the upper periphery, commemorating his 70th birthday, while the name 'DR. SIAKA STEVENS' is inscribed in a bold arc along the lower border, with two raised bullet separators on each side at mid-field. The coin displays strong frosted contrast characteristic of proof striking. |
