The 2022 reissue of this denomination continues a series that De La Rue has produced for Sierra Leone across multiple decades, though the security specification here is notably lean — watermark and thread only, with none of the optically variable ink or color-shifting elements that have become routine on lower-risk African issues of comparable face value. Whether that reflects a cost-driven brief from the Bank of Sierra Leone or a deliberate tier decision is not publicly documented.
