10 Dollars Spanish Civil War - 1936/37

Liberia's Central Bank issued a long-running series of commemorative dollars throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, licensing historical subjects with little connection to Liberian history. The Spanish Civil War piece belongs to that output — a coin produced for the collector market, not circulation, by a country whose involvement in the conflict was precisely zero.

The war it commemorates killed an estimated 500,000 people between 1936 and 1939, drawing in Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Soviet Russia as proxy belligerents before Franco's Nationalists declared victory in April 1939.
