| Obverse description | The central field displays the full coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, featuring a three-masted sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove in flight, a plow and a spade in the foreground, and a shield supported by lateral scrollwork. A ribbon above the shield bears the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 1996 is divided by the coat of arms in the lower field, with the Pobjoy Mint privy mark PM to the left. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA appears along the upper periphery, and the denomination 1 DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's licensing agreements with American entertainment properties produced a wave of novelty coinage through the 1990s, of which this Star Trek issue is among the more straightforward examples. The country had no meaningful numismatic tradition of its own at the time and functioned largely as a vehicle for foreign-marketed collectibles — coins struck to order, sold through television shopping channels and mail-order dealers, rarely touching Liberian soil.
KM#207 covers both ship variants under a single catalog number, which has caused persistent confusion in dealer inventories for three decades.
