| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Liberian coat of arms is depicted centrally, featuring a shield bearing a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, surmounted by a scroll and flanked by floral supporters above a plough and a shovel. The date '20 04' flanks the shield to left and right. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper rim, while the motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' appears on a ribbon within the shield. The denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower rim, with a secondary legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appearing just above it in smaller lettering. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a colorized depiction of the Romanian tricolor flag — rendered in blue, yellow, and red vertical stripes — with a central void representing the communist emblem that was cut out during the 1989 revolution. A cityscape background, identifiable as Bucharest, appears behind the flag in color. The legend 'MOMENTS' arcs along the upper rim and 'OF FREEDOM' along the lower rim, both in raised capital letters. A decorative chain motif borders the upper field, while a scroll-like ornamental frame encloses the lower legend. The inscription 'The fall of Ceaucescu's régime – 1989' appears as a caption across the lower portion of the central design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia has a long history of issuing commemorative coins for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation, and this piece falls squarely into that tradition. The subject — Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania's dictator from 1965 until his execution on Christmas Day 1989 — is an unusual choice for a Liberian issuer, reflecting the anything-goes nature of that country's commemorative program in the early 2000s.
Ceaușescu's regime collapsed with exceptional speed: from his final public speech on December 21 to the firing squad on December 25, just four days elapsed.
