| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | At right, an intaglio portrait of I.T.A. Wallace-Johnson (1894–1965), trade unionist and journalist, faces left above two facsimile signatures; the national arms appear at centre beneath the issuer title 'BANK OF SIERRA LEONE'. A vignette of a cargo vessel at a port facility occupies the lower centre, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint incorporating geometric motifs. Denomination numerals '2000' are placed at each corner, with 'TWO THOUSAND LEONES' along the lower margin. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The central intaglio vignette presents the Bank of Sierra Leone headquarters building in Freetown, a modernist multi-storey structure rendered in fine line engraving, flanked at left by a traditional figurative motif. A multicolour guilloche underprint in yellow, green, and orange tones fills the background, with a decorative cross-hatched diamond device at the right margin. The inscription 'TWO THOUSAND LEONES' is centred at the foot of the note, with the printer's imprint 'DE LA RUE' below the central vignette. |

| Anmerkungen |
The 2000 Leones denomination was introduced as Sierra Leone rebuilt its monetary infrastructure following the end of the brutal RUF insurgency — the Lomé Peace Agreement of 1999 and the formal end of hostilities in 2002 created the political conditions that made a stable note series viable again. De La Rue had produced Sierra Leonean notes through earlier, more chaotic periods, and the continuity of that relationship speaks to how few printers will work with a post-conflict central bank on short notice.
The leone had suffered savage inflation through the conflict years. By the time this series entered circulation, the currency had lost most of its purchasing power accumulated since independence — the 2000 Leones face value reflects that erosion directly.
