Sierra Leone issued this coin as part of a wave of WWF-themed numismatic issues that swept through smaller nations during the mid-to-late 1980s, typically produced under licensing arrangements with foreign minting houses rather than domestic facilities. The WWF partnership, launched in 1986 to coincide with the organization's 25th anniversary, generated commemorative coinage across dozens of countries simultaneously — Sierra Leone among them.
The specific wildlife subject depicted was chosen by the WWF as part of that coordinated campaign, not by the Bank of Sierra Leone independently.
