| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Liberty occupies the central field, her curly hair bound by a headband adorned with a five-pointed star and surmounted by a Liberty cap. The engraver's initials W.J.T. appear incuse on the truncation. The circumscribed legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA runs along the upper periphery within a raised border, while three evenly spaced five-pointed stars are positioned along the lower arc of the inner circle. The portrait is executed in high relief in the neoclassical style characteristic of W.J. Taylor's mid-nineteenth-century work. |
