Liberia has issued commemorative gold pieces under its own authority since the 1960s, though the country has used the US dollar as its de facto currency alongside its own Liberian dollar for most of its modern history — making domestically struck gold coins a purely collectible proposition from the outset. The KM#1102 reference places this among a long run of small-format bullion-adjacent issues that Liberia has licensed to foreign minting houses, predominantly in Europe.
At 2.49 grams of .999 fine gold, the specification matches a fractional format commonly produced at the Bavarian State Mint or comparable European facilities on behalf of smaller sovereign issuers.
