| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's 1862 coinage was struck in England, at the Birmingham-area private mints that handled much of Britain's colonial and quasi-colonial token production during the mid-nineteenth century. The Republic, founded by the American Colonization Society and populated largely by repatriated freed slaves from the United States, had no domestic minting capability and would not for the entirety of the nineteenth century. The 1862 issue represents one of only a handful of dates in this early series.
KM#3 is known with both plain and reeded edge variations — worth examining before cataloging.
