| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's early-1990s wildlife series was produced almost entirely for the collector market, with virtually no coins from this program entering general circulation. The Central Bank contracted foreign mints — primarily in the United States and Germany — to produce these issues, as Liberia's own minting infrastructure was nonexistent. By 1994, the country was emerging from the first phase of its brutal civil war, and hard currency export through collector coin programs was one of the few reliable mechanisms for generating foreign exchange.
The pygmy hippopotamus is native to the forests of West Africa, with Liberia holding one of the last significant wild populations.
