| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, depicting a shield bearing a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, and a plow beneath a rising sun, flanked by ribbons and supported by a dove above. The date 2002 is divided by the shield, with '20' to the left and '02' to the right. An inner legend encircling the arms reads 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE'. The outer legend along the upper rim reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA', repeated along the lower rim within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s collector coin program was essentially a licensing operation — the government authorized foreign mints, primarily in China and Germany, to produce commemorative issues bearing Liberian face values with little connection to actual Liberian monetary policy or circulation. These pieces were marketed directly to Western collectors, never touching Liberian commerce.
The $10 denomination was the workhorse of the series, appearing on dozens of distinct themes between roughly 1999 and 2004.
