| Obverse description | The national arms of Liberia occupy the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a rising sun on the horizon, a palm tree, a dove in flight, and a plough in the foreground, all within an ornate shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA runs along the upper rim, with a repeat of REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA on a ribbon scroll at the base. The date 2005 is divided across the lower field on either side of the shield. |

Liberia's Central Bank issued dozens of these silver-plated commemorative dollars in the early 2000s, most bearing no meaningful connection to Liberia whatsoever. This piece is squarely in that tradition — a purely commercial product licensed to a private mint and marketed to thematic collectors abroad, with Liberia lending its issuing authority in exchange for a fee. The Swiss national football association had no role in the coin's production.
