Additional information

Liberia's commemorative program in the early 1980s leaned heavily on international sporting events as a revenue stream rather than any genuine domestic athletic tradition. This piece was issued ahead of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, part of a wave of non-circulating legal tender struck by developing nations contracting with private mints — in Liberia's case, typically through arrangements that had little involvement from the Liberian government beyond licensing the name.

The X# reference prefix signals its exclusion from the main Krause-Mishler catalog, categorized instead among "unofficial" or privately-promoted issues.
