| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is centrally positioned in the field, depicting a sailing ship at sea with a dove in flight above, a palm tree to the right, and a rising sun along the shoreline, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. The date 2002 is divided by the arms, with '20' to the left and '02' to the right. The upper legend reads REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, while a lower banner repeats REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. A secondary scroll within the arms carries the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The design is set against a blue-colored field with a reeded border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was essentially a licensing operation — the government sold minting rights to European distributors who produced themed collector coins with little connection to Liberian monetary history. This piece is part of that wave, manufactured primarily for the German and Swiss collector markets rather than any domestic circulation.
