| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is centrally depicted, featuring a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, and a dove in flight, all within a shield supported by laurel and palm branches. A ribbon scroll bearing the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' arches across the upper portion of the shield. The date '20 06' flanks the coat of arms to left and right in the field. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appears again on a scroll below the shield, and the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed in large letters along the lower rim. The design is executed in prooflike relief against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's "Century of Inventions" series was a licensed product line issued through marketing firms — most commonly associated with companies like the Pobjoy Mint and similar commercial operations that contracted with low-revenue nations to produce collectible coinage for the international novelty market. Liberia itself had no meaningful domestic circulation for these pieces, and they were never intended for use within the country.
The copper-nickel composition at this weight was a deliberate cost-reduction choice over silver, keeping retail price points accessible to mass-market collectors.
