| Reverse description | A front-facing portrait bust of Formula One racing driver Michael Schumacher dominates the central field, wearing a racing cap bearing the Goodyear logo and a race suit. To the lower left, a Formula One racing car is depicted in profile, with a chequered flag and a laurel wreath to the upper left of the portrait. The legend 'MICHAEL SCHUMACHER · FORMULA ONE' curves along the outer rim, reading from the lower left to the lower right. The denomination '$10' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by two raised dots. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's late-1980s and 1990s commemorative program was essentially a licensing operation — the government contracted with foreign minting houses to produce collector coins bearing celebrity names and images, with limited connection to Liberian monetary history. This Schumacher piece was issued in 1992, the year he took his first Formula One victory for Benetton at Spa-Francorchamps, before his championship years at Ferrari had begun.
Struck to one-troy-ounce fine silver, these were sold primarily through European coin dealers and teleshops. Mintages were rarely controlled tightly, and secondary market premiums have remained modest.
