Starting 1807 Sierra Leone was under the British crown. On 27 April 1961, Sierra Leone became an Independent Republic. 1964 was the first year of coinage for the new republic. __________________ Chase A Byrd Coin Collection | www.byrdecoins.tk Member of the ANA, GNA, RCNA and WINSociety Never, Never, Never Quit ~ Winston Churchill   07-02-2009, 12:10 PM   #3 (permalink) turnedforgood Junior Member     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Southern Illinois, no where near Chicago.
