Behind and above him, the Spirit of St. Louis monoplane is rendered in dramatic perspective, its nose and engine prominent against a luminous background suggesting clouds and sky. A second smaller depiction of the aircraft appears at lower left. The encircling legend HISTORY OF AMERICA · CHARLES LINDBERGH'S ATLANTIC CROSSING 1927 arcs around the upper border, while the denomination $20 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was notorious for licensing arrangements that had little connection to the country itself — coins were designed, struck, and distributed almost entirely by European and American distributors, with Liberia providing legal tender status in exchange for licensing fees. This piece, issued a full 74 years after Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic crossing, belongs squarely to that commercial era of the series.
KM#650 is one of dozens of celebrity and aviation subjects Liberia issued in this period, many sharing the same 40mm silver planchet specification.
