| Obverse description | The central field features the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Liberia, depicting a sailing ship on the sea, a dove in flight, a palm tree, and a plough with a spade, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. The date '2002' is divided on either side of the shield. The upper legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs around the outer border, while a lower scroll within the design carries the motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE', and a further legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appears on the ribbon beneath the shield. The entire design is set against a blue enamelled field with a reeded outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was a prolific one, producing dozens of wildlife-themed issues through contracted minting houses — primarily in Germany and China — with no meaningful domestic minting infrastructure. These pieces were never intended for circulation and were sold directly into the collector market, often through television shopping channels and mail-order dealers in the United States and Europe. The black crowned crane itself is native to the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa, not Liberia specifically.
