| Reverse description | The reverse features a colorfully applied Christmas scene with a decorated Christmas tree at centre, adorned with baubles and lights, and a figure of Santa Claus depicted to the left. The year date 2010 appears among the tree decorations. A multiline legend surrounding the design bears seasonal greetings in five languages — German, French, English, Spanish, and Russian — along with the inscription 2 oz denoting the coin's silver weight. The colored enamel application contrasts vividly against the proof-finished silver field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued novelty legal-tender coinage under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, with much of the production handled by foreign private mints rather than any Liberian minting facility — the country has no mint of its own. These issues circulate as collectibles by design, never as currency, and are produced almost entirely for the international gift and holiday market.
KM#1009 is catalogued but sparsely documented in terms of actual mintage figures, which is characteristic of this wave of Liberian holiday issues where print-run data was rarely disclosed publicly by the contracting mints.
