The shield is flanked by olive branches and a ribbon inscribed REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA at the base. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 2004 appears divided across the lower field flanking the arms, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed along the bottom rim. |

| Additional information |
Algeria's War of Independence began on November 1, 1954, with coordinated FLN attacks across the country — a date the Algerian government still marks as a national holiday. The conflict lasted until 1962 and cost an estimated one million Algerian lives. Liberia's involvement is purely commercial: the country has issued hundreds of commemorative coins for foreign historical events since the 1990s, functioning effectively as a licensing operation for novelty collector pieces rather than as a sovereign issuing authority with any connection to the subject matter.
