| Obverse description | The central field displays the arms of the Republic of Liberia, featuring a shield depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, with a dove in flight above and a plough below; the shield is flanked by scrollwork bearing the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' and supported by a scroll inscribed 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA'. The date 1999 flanks the arms at the mid-field, divided by the shield. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 DOLLAR' appears in the lower exergue. |
