| Obverse description | The central field features the full Liberian coat of arms, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, and a plow above a scroll bearing the legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA, all within a shield surmounted by a dove and supported by laurel and palm branches. The motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE appears on a ribbon across the upper portion of the shield. The circumferential legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim. The date 2000 is split to either side of the coat of arms in the mid-field. The design is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |
