| Obverse description | The Arms of the Republic of Liberia occupy the central field, featuring a sailing ship at sea with a dove in flight, a palm tree, and a rising sun, all within an ornate shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto. The date 2008 is split to either side of the shield, with the numeral '20' to the left and '08' to the right. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, while a secondary legend 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' encircles the shield. The denomination '12 DOLLARS' and a repeated inscription 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of the Borgund Stave Church, one of Norway's most celebrated medieval wooden structures, occupies the central field. The church is rendered with characteristic tiered rooflines, dragon-head finials, and the distinctive layered stave construction typical of Norwegian ecclesiastical architecture. The country name 'NORWAY' is inscribed in raised letters along the upper periphery of the coin, arching above the architectural motif. The field surrounding the church is plain and unadorned, allowing the intricate architectural detail to dominate the design. |
