| Additional information |
Sierra Leone's gold issues of the early 2000s were produced under license arrangements with foreign minting and distribution firms — the coins were legal tender in name but designed entirely for the collector export market, never intended to circulate domestically in a country where per-capita income sat well below a dollar a day. The 2001 wildlife series, of which this piece is part, was struck by the Pobjoy Mint in Surrey.
