| Additional information |
Liberia has issued legal tender commemoratives featuring American crime figures since the 1990s, exploiting its open coining policy to sell novelty bullion into the collector market with no domestic circulation intended. This piece is part of that tradition — a modern private mint product licensed through Liberia's government, which has lent its sovereignty to hundreds of such issues over the decades.
Capone was convicted on federal tax evasion charges in 1931, not bootlegging.
