| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship on the sea with a palm tree and a rising sun in the background, all within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. A dove in flight appears above the shield, and a cannon with a plough are shown beneath it. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE inscribed on the scroll within the design. The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower periphery, and the date 2001 is divided on either side of the central arms. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank issued a long run of foreign-history commemoratives in the late 1990s and early 2000s, largely marketed to the international collector trade rather than domestic circulation. The Spartacus revolt — the Third Servile War — lasted from 73 to 71 BC and drew an estimated 120,000 enslaved people before Crassus crushed it on the Bruttian peninsula. Pompey's legions intercepted the fleeing survivors, a fact Crassus never forgave.
Six thousand captives were crucified along the Appian Way from Capua to Rome.
