| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is depicted centrally, featuring a shield bearing a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, and a plough, surmounted by a scroll inscribed THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 2001 is divided by the arms, with 20 to the left and 01 to the right. The peripheral legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper field, while the denomination 10 DOLLARS appears in the lower field. A beaded border frames the design throughout. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has long operated a cottage industry of commemorative coinage aimed squarely at the collector market, with little connection to domestic circulation. This piece, issued 56 years after the events it marks, belongs to a prolific series produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s — many struck by European mints on contract and never intended to reach Liberian soil.
KM#552 is one of dozens of World War II-themed issues Liberia released in this period, a program that generated hard currency from foreign collectors rather than serving any domestic monetary function.
