| Additional information |
This piece is one of several wildlife-themed issues Liberia contracted through European minting houses during the 2000s, a period when the country's own monetary infrastructure was effectively non-functional following years of civil war. The coins were legal tender in name only, struck entirely for the international collector market and never intended to circulate. The denomination reads "10 Dollars New Zealand" despite being issued under Liberian authority — a licensing arrangement that allowed the issuer to exploit the marketing appeal of New Zealand's conservation profile without involving the Reserve Bank of New Zealand at all.
The kakapo had an estimated wild population of around 86 individuals at the time of this coin's release.
