| Obverse description | The national arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove in flight, and a plough, all beneath a ribbon scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The shield is supported by a decorative cartouche, with a further scroll below inscribed REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. The date 1995 is divided by the arms to either side. The outer legend around the upper periphery reads REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, while the lower periphery carries the inscriptions ONE OUNCE FINE SILVER and 10 DOLLARS. A dentilated border runs around the entire circumference. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative coinage of the 1990s was largely produced not for domestic use but for the international collector market, contracted through foreign mints during a period when the country's own monetary infrastructure had effectively collapsed under civil war. The First Liberian Civil War, running from 1989 through 1996, gutted the Central Bank's operational capacity while Charles Taylor's NPFL and government forces fought for control of Monrovia.
KM#194 is one of dozens of Liberian-issued commemoratives from this era struck almost certainly outside the country.
