| Obverse description | The central field features the full coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, depicting a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree and a rising sun on shore, with a dove in flight above, and a plow and shovel in the exergue, all within a decorative shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 2002 is divided by the shield, with '20' to the left and '02' to the right. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA appears both along the upper arc and again below the shield in smaller lettering, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
