| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship on the sea with a dove in flight above, a palm tree to the right, and a plow and shovel in the foreground, all set within a shield. A ribbon scroll above the shield bears the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 20 02 is divided at the base of the shield on either side. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA appears at the top and is repeated at the bottom of the coin, separated by a beaded inner border and a reeded outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank issued a flood of commemorative copper-nickel dollars in the early 2000s, many produced by foreign private mints targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. The country was in the final years of Charles Taylor's regime at the time of this issue — a period of civil war and economic collapse that made large-denomination commemoratives entirely disconnected from everyday Liberian monetary reality.
KM# 700 is part of a sprawling sports series with minimal collector demand at issue and since.
