| Additional information |
Liberia produced a long-running series of ECU-denominated collector coins throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, each paying tribute to a European nation — despite Liberia having no connection to the European Currency Unit whatsoever. The ECU itself had already ceased to exist in 1999 when it converted at a fixed 1:1 rate into the euro, meaning this 2001 issue commemorates a currency that had been defunct for two years by the time it was struck.
