| Additional information |
Liberia's extensive commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was essentially a revenue operation — the coins were designed for foreign collectors, not Liberian pockets. This piece marks the Prague Spring of 1968, the brief period of political liberalization under Alexander Dubček that ended in August when Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia with roughly 500,000 troops. Dubček had called his program "socialism with a human face." The Soviets called it a threat to bloc cohesion.
Issued more than three decades after the event, the coin's connection to Liberia is purely commercial.
