| Additional information |
Liberia built a cottage industry through the 1990s and 2000s issuing commemorative collector coins with no connection whatsoever to Liberian history — world events, anniversaries, and foreign political milestones sold directly to the international numismatic market. The Warsaw Pact formally dissolved on July 1, 1991, when Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland signed the protocol of dissolution in Prague; the remaining members followed. A coin dated 1991 but struck in 2006 is straightforwardly a delayed souvenir piece, minted fifteen years after the fact for a collector base that never spent these in Monrovia.
