| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Liberia at centre, featuring a three-masted sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a plough, and a dove in flight, all within a heraldic shield. A scroll beneath the shield bears the legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, and a banner across the shield reads THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 1997 is divided to either side of the coat of arms, with the denomination 1 DOLLAR inscribed along the lower rim. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two World War II military scenes arranged in horizontal registers across the field. In the upper register, a large flying boat aircraft — consistent with a Consolidated PBY Catalina or similar patrol seaplane — is rendered in fine detail in profile. In the lower register, a dramatic naval engagement is shown, with a sinking or burning vessel amid turbulent waves and a standing figure at right, evoking Atlantic convoy warfare. The legend WORLD WAR II arcs prominently along the upper rim, with WEST AFRICAN CAMPAIGN inscribed to the lower left and WORLD WAR II VICTORY MEDAL to the lower right of the central design. The denomination $1 appears at the bottom of the field within a beaded border. |
