10 Dollars Timber Wolf

Liberia's collector coinage of the late 1990s and early 2000s was produced almost entirely for the international novelty market, with little to no domestic circulation intended. The Central Bank licensed dozens of wildlife and commemorative themes during this period to generate foreign exchange — the timber wolf having no particular relevance to Liberian fauna or national history.

KM# 700 is one of hundreds of issues from this era struck by private mints on contract, most commonly Pobjoy or the Bavarian State Mint, though attribution for specific Liberian contracts of this period is not always clean in the literature.
