| Additional information |
William Tolbert Jr. was assassinated in April 1980, just months after this coin was struck, when Master Sergeant Samuel Doe led a military coup that killed him in the Executive Mansion. Doe's forces then publicly executed thirteen cabinet ministers on a Monrovia beach. This issue therefore marks the final year of Americo-Liberian political dominance — a ruling class that had controlled the country since 1847.
