| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun on the shield, encircled by a wreath and surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 1996 flanks the arms to either side, with the mint mark PM visible at left. The peripheral legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim. |

Liberia's 1990s commemorative dollar program was among the most prolific — and commercially cynical — of any small nation during that decade, flooding the market with copper-nickel pieces sold primarily to collectors outside Liberia who would never spend them. KM#263 is one of dozens issued in rapid succession, produced under contract by foreign mints and distributed through coin dealers rather than through any domestic banking channel.
Boone himself died in 1820 in Missouri, having lived long enough to see Kentucky — the wilderness he famously helped open — become a settled state of 400,000 people.
