| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia at center, depicting a three-masted sailing ship approaching a shoreline with a rising sun, a palm tree, and a plow in the foreground, all enclosed within a shield supported by decorative foliage. A ribbon banner above the shield bears the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE', while a scroll at the base reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA'. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border, with the date '1997' divided to either side of the shield and the denomination '$20 DOLLARS' inscribed along the lower rim. |
