| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Liberia centrally positioned in the field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove in flight, a plough, and a spade, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. The outer legend reads REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA along the upper periphery, with the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE inscribed on a ribbon across the upper portion of the shield. The date 1995 appears in the lower field flanking the coat of arms, and the inscription ONE OUNCE 10 DOLLARS FINE SILVER is arranged along the lower border, with REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA repeated on a secondary scroll at the base of the arms. The design is struck in proof quality with a finely reeded border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative program in the 1990s was prolific to the point of absurdity — the country issued dozens of silver pieces honoring foreign heads of state, historical figures, and world events, almost none of which saw circulation. These were produced for the international collector market, not for Liberian commerce, and were typically struck by outside mints under license. Sun Yat-sen's inclusion reflects his enduring status as a figure claimed by both the People's Republic and Taiwan, making him commercially safe across the widest possible buyer base.
