12 Dollars Myth of Sisyphus

Liberia has issued commemorative gold pieces under its authority since the 1960s, largely targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. This entry in the "Myths" series draws on a long tradition of small-format gold coins produced for the numismatic trade, where the issuing country's name provides legal tender status while the actual distribution and sale occur entirely abroad. At 0.031 g, the gold content is negligible — roughly one-thousandth of a troy ounce.
