| Reverse description | Two speed skaters in full racing posture are depicted in high relief against a darkened field, the foreground skater leaning deeply forward with arms extended and blades cutting ice lines rendered as diagonal stripes across the lower field. A second competitor follows in the upper right background, with stylized wind lines and a waving banner suggesting motion and the atmosphere of competitive winter sport. The inscription INNSBRUCK appears in the lower exergue in bold capital letters, with the year 1964 placed vertically along the right side of the field, commemorating the IX Winter Olympic Games held in Innsbruck, Austria. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's long-running commemorative program, active from the 1990s onward, produced hundreds of silver issues tied to events with no connection to the country whatsoever — the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Games among them. These were collector-market products, not circulating currency, struck decades after the events they depict and sold directly to overseas distributors. The 1964 Games themselves were notable for deploying the Austrian army to haul artificial snow to competition venues after a near-total failure of natural snowfall in the weeks before opening.
