10 Dollars Deer

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.
