| Obverse description | Central field features the coat of arms of Liberia, depicting a shield bearing a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, supported by scrollwork and flanked by a dove in flight above; a ribbon below the shield bears the national motto. The date 2005 is split to either side of the arms in the lower field. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery, with a secondary legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA repeated on a ribbon at the base, and the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE inscribed on a curved banner across the upper portion of the shield. The entire design is surrounded by a beaded inner border and a reeded rim. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's prolific commemorative program of the 1990s and 2000s was essentially a licensing operation — the country issued hundreds of silver-plated copper pieces bearing foreign flags, sports teams, and world leaders, with almost no connection to Liberian monetary history. Distribution was handled entirely through overseas dealers and Franklin Mint-style direct marketing, and it is doubtful many of these coins ever touched Liberian soil.
