| Additional information |
The 1889 Liberian patterns were produced in Philadelphia — the only facility with the equipment and political relationship to strike coins for Liberia at that time — as part of an effort to establish a more complete coinage system for the republic. This quarter dollar denomination was never adopted for circulation, and the bronze composition underscores its purely exploratory nature; production metal for approved Liberian coinage of this period ran to copper-nickel and silver, not bronze.
