Bank
Coins Designs
Bank of
Sierra Leone notes are printed in various colours with different
designs on both the front and the back. Although the bank
experimented with colour, new designs and printing techniques,
its notes remain essentially the same throughout and have
similar dimensions.
Sierra
Leonean figures have been depicted on the front of notes
of all series. The character chosen has to have made an
indisputable contribution to the Sierra Leonean history.
