| Reverse description | A dynamic depiction of an Olympic sailing dinghy heeling to port occupies the central field, with two crew members visible on the windward side and stylised waves rendered beneath the hull. The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games flame logo appears at the upper centre. The curved legend SYDNEY 2000 OLYMPIC GAMES arcs along the upper periphery, while the word SAILING is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is framed by a plain inner border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Olympic commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was a prolific — some would say cynical — exercise in generating foreign exchange rather than marking any genuine national connection to the sports depicted. Liberia sent a delegation to the 2000 Sydney Games, but sailing was not among its represented disciplines. These pieces were struck for the collector market, distributed largely through European and American dealers, and never meaningfully circulated.
