| Additional information |
Liberia's bronze coinage of this period was struck almost entirely in Birmingham by Ralph Heaton & Sons, as the country had no domestic mint capability. These 2-cent pieces circulated in an economy where American Colonization Society influence still shaped fiscal policy decades after formal independence, and U.S. dollars traded alongside Liberian coinage with no fixed official rate between them.
