| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a large circular colored inset depicting two iconic architectural subjects: the upper half shows Tiananmen Gate in Beijing rendered in vivid color with a blue sky, while the lower half presents a silver-toned engraved skyline of Macau with a bridge and modern buildings beneath stylized clouds. At the top of the field, above the circular inset, is a small rectangular portrait medallion showing the profile bust of a statesman facing right. Chinese characters arc along both the left and right sides of the field, reading the commemorative inscription relating to the handover of Macau to China. The date of the handover, 1999 · 12 · 20, is inscribed in the lower exergue in Latin numerals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's commemorative output in the 1990s was prolific to the point of absurdity — the country issued dozens of silver pieces annually for events with no connection to Liberia whatsoever. This coin marks the 1999 handover of Macau from Portugal to China, though it was struck two years early, in 1997, likely timed to capitalize on commercial interest surrounding the Hong Kong handover that July.
Macau had been under Portuguese administration since the 1550s, making it the longest-running European colonial presence in Asia. The actual transfer occurred on December 20, 1999.
