| Reverse description | The reverse bears a colour-printed depiction of Little Red Riding Hood rendered in a stylised illustrative manner, shown from behind as a young figure enveloped in a voluminous, deeply hooded red cloak that billows dramatically to fill the shaped flan. The cloak's folds and shadow details are rendered with fine artistic precision, while the figure's hand is visible at the lower left, adding a sense of narrative movement. The coin's distinctive silhouette shape — faithfully replicating the outline of the cloaked figure — is integral to the reverse design, with the ragged lower hem of the cloak forming the contour of the flan itself. No additional legends appear on this face, allowing the vivid polychrome imagery to dominate the field. |

At 0.03 grams of .9999 gold, this is among the smallest gold coins in current commercial production — a format pioneered largely by the Valcambi and CIT minting groups to capture the low-entry bullion gift market. Liberia has licensed its monetary authority for decades to issue coins with no meaningful domestic circulation intent, functioning purely as a vehicle for foreign minting houses to attach legal-tender status to novelty pieces.
