| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, and a plough with a shovel in the foreground, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. The date '2008' is divided by the shield, with '20' to the left and '08' to the right. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper rim, while a secondary legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appears on a ribbon below the shield. The denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's small-format gold issues of the 2000s were produced almost entirely for the collector export market, not domestic circulation — a funding mechanism the government leaned on heavily during the post-civil war reconstruction period following the end of Charles Taylor's regime in 2003. This piece is effectively a bullion souvenir, minted to a 14 karat standard uncommon in Western numismatic tradition but familiar in certain Asian retail gold markets, which were the intended destination for much of this series.
