| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Sierra Leone occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two rampant lions, with two palm trees rising above the shield and a smaller lion passant at the base. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF SIERRA LEONE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The date 2015 appears in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Additional information |
Sierra Leone has issued dozens of wildlife-themed silver dollars since the 1990s through licensed coin programs administered by foreign minting and marketing firms — the coins bear the Bank of Sierra Leone's authority but are produced entirely for the collector market, never circulating within the country. The Ankylosaurus issue is part of this broader prehistoric fauna series aimed squarely at the thematic bullion buyer.
Ankylosaurus itself died out at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, roughly 66 million years ago.
