| Obverse description | Central field depicts a full-length dynamic figure of Guan Yu, the deified Chinese general and god of war, rendered in traditional Chinese engraving style. The figure is shown in martial stance, clad in ornate dragon-embossed armour and flowing robes, wielding his iconic glaive (Green Dragon Crescent Blade) while striding forward with great vigour. Surrounding the central design, the circular legend reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' at the left, '1/1000 oz 2026' at the top, '12 Dollars' at the right, and 'AU 9999' at the base, all incused within the broad raised rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed bust portrait of Guan Yu facing slightly to the left, rendered in a bold Chinese artistic tradition. The deity is depicted with his characteristic long flowing beard, stern commanding expression, and elaborate dragon-motif armour adorning his shoulders and chest. His hair is bound upward in a traditional topknot secured with an ornamental clasp, with loose strands flowing freely to the sides. The portrait fills the entire field to the rim with no peripheral legend, emphasising the imposing and reverent iconography associated with this venerated historical and divine figure. |
