12 Dollars Leaning Tower of Pisa

Liberia has issued commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements since the 1970s, with virtually none of it intended for domestic circulation. This piece, like most of the country's modern commemorative output, was produced for the international collector market by a contracted European mint. The 0.031g gold weight places it in the category of fractional "mini-gold" issues that proliferated after spot prices made traditional fractional denominations commercially unviable for low-cost gift-market pieces.
