| Obverse description | A boldly rendered American bald eagle stands in three-quarter profile facing left, its wings partially raised and its talons resting upon an olive branch in the lower field. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears in two lines to the right of the eagle in the mid-field. The denomination HUNDRED DOLLARS curves along the lower border, separated from the eagle by the olive branch. The design is executed in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, giving strong contrast between the frosted device and the polished background. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s gold program was largely a product of the international commemorative coin trade rather than domestic monetary policy — these pieces were struck under contract, never intended for circulation in a country then still mired in the Second Liberian Civil War. Charles Taylor's government used licensing agreements with foreign minting companies to generate hard currency revenue, a common arrangement among small issuers with no meaningful domestic coin demand.
