| Reverse description | A dynamic depiction of a football player in mid-action occupies the central field, rendered in relief against a stylised background suggestive of a map or national silhouette. A large football rendered with hexagonal panel detail appears prominently in the lower left field. The team name ITALY is inscribed in bold lettering across the lower centre, with the German-language equivalent Italien in italics directly below. The curved legend ÖSTERREICH SCHWEIZ arcs across the upper periphery to the left, referencing the co-host nations of UEFA Euro 2008, with the date 2008 placed at the upper right. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has long operated as a de facto coin producer for the international collector market rather than for domestic circulation, licensing its sovereign authority to foreign minting operations — primarily in Germany and China — to produce themed series with no meaningful connection to the country itself. This "Team Italy" issue belongs to a broader Olympic or football-themed run sold directly to collectors, never intended to pass through Liberian hands.
The .585 fineness marks it as 14-karat gold, the commercial standard favored for low-weight issues where production costs must be kept tight against a modest face value.
