| Obverse description | The central field features the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Liberia, depicting a sailing ship on the sea beneath a rising sun, a palm tree, a dove in flight, and an anchor in the foreground, all enclosed within a shield flanked by decorative scrollwork. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' in raised Latin lettering. The date '2008' is divided by the shield at the lower left and right, with the denomination '100 DOLLARS' inscribed in the lower exergue. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, with a secondary 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' inscription on the ribbon at the base of the arms. The entire design is executed in proof finish with a polished field and frosted relief. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's large-format bullion issues of the 2000s were produced almost entirely by foreign private mints — primarily in Germany and Austria — and sold through wholesale numismatic distributors with no meaningful connection to Liberian monetary policy or domestic circulation. The $100 face value is nominal fiction; no piece this size ever functioned as currency.
The tiger designation places this within a series cycling through big-cat subjects, a reliable commercial formula for the collector bullion market of that decade. KM#845 confirms attribution but little else about mintage limits or issuing contractor.
