| Obverse description | Central field depicts the mythological scene of the Abduction of Europa, rendered in high relief: the figure of Europa, draped and with billowing robes, is shown astride a bull (Zeus in transformed guise), both superimposed over a detailed cartographic relief map of the European continent. Twelve five-pointed stars, emblematic of the European Union, are arranged in a partial circle along the left and lower periphery of the field. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper right rim, with the date 2002 and denomination $1 inscribed vertically to the right. |

| Reverse description | The central field bears an incuse circular recess into which a genuine gold-plated French 10 euro cent coin dated 1999 (KM#1285) is inserted, displaying the iconic La Semeuse (the Sower) design by Louis Oscar Roty. Surrounding the inserted coin, the field is engraved with a detailed pastoral scene evoking French culture: figures seated and standing around a banquet table laden with wine bottles, grapes, and tableware, evoking a traditional French outdoor gathering. The trilingual legend EUROPEAN CURRENCY, EUROPÄISCHE WÄHRUNG, and MONNAIE EUROPEENNE is inscribed around the raised outer border, with the date 1.1.2002 appearing along the lower rim, commemorating the introduction of euro coins into circulation. |
