| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's commemorative program in the 1990s was largely produced by foreign minting houses for collector export, with little domestic circulation intended. This piece marks the 1940 evacuation of approximately 338,000 Allied troops from the beaches of northern France — an operation improvised over nine days after the Wehrmacht's armored advance cut off the British Expeditionary Force. Churchill famously warned Parliament not to treat the rescue as a victory.
No meaningful connection exists between Liberia and Dunkirk; the issuance was purely commercial.
