| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing draped bust of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap and a prominent five-pointed star on the headband, with flowing curly hair rendered in fine detail. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs around the periphery, reading from lower left to lower right. A small mint mark letter E appears in the exergue below the truncation. The design closely parallels the Liberty effigy used on contemporary Liberian coinage, set within a finely toothed border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's 1889 coinage experiments were tied directly to the republic's chronic struggle to establish a credible monetary system independent of foreign currencies — particularly the U.S. dollar and British West African trade pieces that dominated actual commerce. This bronze pattern for a half dollar denomination was never adopted; the republic would not achieve a functioning domestic coinage in regular circulation until the twentieth century.
KM#Pn39 is one of several pattern strikes from this period, suggesting a broader evaluation of denominations and metals that ultimately went nowhere.
