| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA 1/1000 OZ AU 9999 12 DOLLARS 2026 |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents the plain, unadorned gold surface of the AK-47-shaped flan, mirroring the overall silhouette of the iconic assault rifle. The reverse field is smooth and reflective, without additional inscriptions or design elements, allowing the highly polished .9999 fine gold surface to serve as the sole visual element. The shaped outline faithfully reproduces the profile of the Kalashnikov rifle, including the curved detachable magazine, trigger guard, wooden stock form, and elongated barrel, all in flat relief against the blank reverse field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has a long history of issuing novelty bullion and commemorative pieces targeted squarely at the collector market rather than circulation, and this falls firmly in that tradition. The AK-47 designation references the Kalashnikov rifle adopted by Soviet forces in 1949 — an odd subject for a West African nation whose official currency is the Liberian dollar, and whose government has no particular historical tie to the weapon beyond its ubiquity across the continent.
At 0.031 g, this contains fractionally less gold than a 1/1000 oz piece.
