| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter facing portrait of President Chiang Ching-Kuo in the foreground, rendered in high relief against a detailed background depicting symbols of Taiwan's modernization, including a commercial jet aircraft in flight, high-rise buildings forming a city skyline, a suspension bridge, and a container ship in port. The legend PRESIDENT CHIANG CHING-KUO arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters. The birth and death years 1910 and 1988 flank the denomination $10, which appears prominently in the lower central field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's 1990s silver program was essentially a commercial commemorative operation — coins like this one were struck for the international collector market, not Liberian domestic circulation, and were produced in quantity by foreign mints under contract. Chiang Ching-kuo, who governed Taiwan from 1978 until his death in 1988, was a logical subject for such issues given strong Taiwan-Liberia diplomatic ties maintained through that period.
Taiwan sustained formal relations with Liberia into the 1990s as part of its broader campaign to retain any diplomatic recognition it could hold against Beijing's pressure.
