| Additional information |
Liberia has no meaningful connection to European football and no domestic minting infrastructure — this piece was produced entirely for the novelty collector market, almost certainly struck by a private European mint operating under a licensing arrangement with the Liberian government, which has sold its issuing authority for commemorative purposes since the 1970s. At a kilogram of fine silver and 120mm across, it belongs to a category of outsized "showpiece" coins that proliferated in the mid-2000s as silver spot prices remained low enough to make large-format issues commercially viable for distributors.
