10 Dollars ECU - United Kingdom

Liberia's ECU-themed issues from the early 2000s were purely numismatic products with no connection to the European Currency Unit, which had already ceased to exist when the euro replaced it in 1999. The labeling trades on the ECU name years after its institutional death, targeting collector markets rather than any monetary purpose. Liberia itself uses the Liberian dollar domestically and had no relationship with European monetary policy.

KM# 697 belongs to a sprawling series of Liberian gold-plated issues that flooded the collector market during this period, most produced by private minting contractors rather than the Liberian government's own facilities.
