Additional information

Liberia's collector coinage of the 1990s was largely produced by foreign mints under licensing arrangements, with this issue almost certainly struck by the Pobjoy Mint or a comparable European facility rather than anything approaching a Liberian national mint. The country had no meaningful domestic minting infrastructure and used these silver issues primarily as foreign currency earners during a period when the First Liberian Civil War (1989–1996) had effectively collapsed the formal economy.

Patton died in December 1945 from injuries sustained in a car accident near Mannheim, Germany — twelve days after the collision, never having recovered consciousness.
