Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in December 1979, famously asking that the ceremonial banquet be cancelled and its $192,000 cost donated to the poor in Calcutta. Liberia had no meaningful connection to either event. This is a privately commissioned collector piece struck under license arrangements that the Central Bank of Liberia extended to various foreign minting operations throughout the 1990s and 2000s — a revenue practice that generated hundreds of thematically unrelated commemorative issues bearing Liberian authority.
