| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Liberia prominently in the central field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, with a plough and dove above the shield. A ribbon below the shield bears the legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. The motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE arcs across the upper field within the arms design, while the year of issue is divided as 20 and 00 flanking the shield. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA runs along the upper rim, and the denomination 20 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Chancellorsville, fought in May 1863, was tactically Lee's most brilliant victory — but it cost the Confederacy Stonewall Jackson, shot by his own men during a night reconnaissance and dead eight days later. The battle's outcome arguably prolonged the war by years.
Liberia's extensive commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s flooded the market with .999 silver issues themed around American Civil War battles, produced almost entirely for the collector trade with no meaningful circulation ever intended.
