Liberia's commemorative coinage program of the early 2000s was largely driven by a private licensing arrangement with a German marketing firm, which produced an enormous volume of silver issues sold primarily to foreign collectors rather than circulated domestically. The country was simultaneously in the grip of the Second Liberian Civil War, with Charles Taylor's government under international sanctions — making these issues a study in the disconnect between a nation's political reality and its mint output.
