This gives collectors both a complete denomination progression and a consecutive catalogue sequence:
KM#503 → KM#504 → KM#505 → KM#506 → KM#507
Sierra Leone’s Currency Redenomination
Sierra Leone introduced a major currency reform in 2022, redenominating the Leone by removing three zeros.
The conversion was:
1 new Leone (SLE) = 1,000 old Leones (SLL)
This created a much simpler denomination structure and brought fractional Cent coins back into practical relevance.
The five coins in this set therefore belong to an important transition in Sierra Leone’s modern monetary history.
Complete 2022 Cent Series
The denomination progression is:
1 → 5 → 10 → 25 → 50 Cents
with:
100 Cents = 1 Leone
The set therefore covers the principal fractional denominations below one Leone.
For collectors, obtaining all five together provides a much more representative example of Sierra Leone’s redenominated currency than purchasing only one denomination.
Historical Background
Sierra Leone gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1961.
The Leone was introduced in 1964, replacing the British West African Pound. Over subsequent decades, inflation dramatically reduced its purchasing power, eventually leading to very large nominal denominations.
The 2022 redenomination simplified the currency while retaining the historic Leone name.
