| Additional information |
Liberia's wildlife coin program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was a frankly commercial operation — the country was in the middle of a brutal civil war, and the government-in-exile licensing coin production to foreign mints was one of several revenue streams that had little to do with domestic monetary policy. Most of these pieces were struck in China or by European private mints and never circulated in Liberia at all.
KM# 726 belongs to a sprawling series aimed squarely at thematic collectors. The purple heron itself is not native to Liberia.
