| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, encircled by a decorative wreath. The motto scroll bearing the legend 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' arches across the upper portion of the shield. The date '2004' is divided to the left and right of the arms in the mid-field. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' runs along the upper periphery, with a secondary inscription 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' on a ribbon below the shield. The denomination '10 DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Issued ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics, this is one of a sprawling series of low-gold-content commemoratives produced by Liberia throughout the early 2000s — a period when the country's mint licensing arrangements with foreign producers generated a steady stream of collector-targeted issues bearing little connection to Liberian history or economy. The Berlin Stadium subject references the 1936 Olympic Games, built under the Nazi government and famously the venue where Jesse Owens won four gold medals.
