| Reverse description | The reverse of this shaped coin presents the interior concave face of the Guy Fawkes mask in high relief, also treated with a uniform obsidian black finish. The sculpted surface displays the inverse contours of the facial features visible on the obverse, including the brow ridges, nose, cheekbones, and chin, rendered with fine detail consistent with the high-relief minting technique. The plain, irregular edge follows the organic outline of the mask form, and the field is otherwise devoid of additional legends or devices. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has operated as a vehicle for novelty collector issues since at least the 1990s, licensing its sovereign authority to private minting operations that produce pieces with no domestic circulation or monetary function whatsoever. This is one of those. The Guy Fawkes mask, popularized globally not by the historical Fawkes — a Catholic conspirator hanged in 1606 — but by the 2005 film adaptation of Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, became a ubiquitous protest symbol after Anonymous adopted it around 2008.
The obsidian finish is a proprietary surface treatment applied post-strike.
