| Obverse description | The Liberian coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun on the shore, with a dove in flight above and a cannon and anchor in the foreground. The shield is supported by ornate foliate branches. A scrolled ribbon within the arms bears the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery and is repeated along the lower periphery, with the date 2001 divided across the lower field on either side of the arms. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative coinage of the late 1990s and early 2000s was produced almost entirely for the international collector market, with little connection to Liberian monetary affairs. Most issues from this period were struck by private minting houses in Europe under licensing arrangements, and KM#547 is no product of Liberian national history — it exists because D-Day themes sold reliably to Western collectors at the turn of the millennium. The actual Normandy landings of June 6, 1944 involved roughly 156,000 Allied troops crossing the Channel, with American forces bearing the heaviest casualties at Omaha Beach alone.
