| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-colour applied insert within a chequered-pattern border that encircles the entire coin. The central coloured scene presents a photographic portrait of German racing driver Hans Heyer wearing a wide-brimmed hat, superimposed over a colour image of a yellow Formula 1 racing car on track. The arced legend HANS HEYER *16.03.1943 is inscribed along the upper portion of the insert, and the inscription GRAND PRIX Deutschland Hockenheim 1977 appears in three lines to the right of the portrait, commemorating his participation in the 1977 German Grand Prix at Hockenheim. |

| Additional information |
Hans Heyer is not a head of state, founding figure, or monetary authority — he's an obscure commemorative subject whose connection to Liberia is tenuous at best. The Central Bank of Liberia produced dozens of these collector-targeted issues in the early 2000s, many bearing figures with little or no historical tie to the country, aimed squarely at the novelty bullion market rather than domestic circulation.
