| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia centrally positioned in the field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree to the right, a rising sun on the horizon, a plough and a spade in the foreground, and a flying dove above, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The shield is flanked by decorative supporters and rests above a ribbon inscribed REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1997 divided across the lower field, and the denomination ONE OUNCE 10 DOLLARS FINE SILVER inscribed along the lower rim. The coin is struck to proof quality with a finely reeded border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's numismatic program in the 1990s leaned heavily into licensed pop-culture themes as a revenue mechanism — the country had minimal domestic coin demand and used foreign minting contracts almost entirely for the collector export market. This piece was struck under that arrangement, timed loosely to capitalize on renewed Star Trek interest following the mid-decade run of Deep Space Nine and Voyager. Paramount licensing agreements governed the imagery, which is why comparable issues from other small sovereign issuers of the same period are legally distinct despite nearly identical marketing.
