| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a detailed portrait bust of Daniel O'Connell, the celebrated Irish statesman and Catholic emancipation advocate, facing slightly left and occupying the left portion of the field. His curly hair and period attire with a cravat are rendered in fine relief. To the right in the background stands a detailed architectural rendering of the Four Courts building in Dublin, with its prominent dome and colonnaded facade. The name 'DANIEL O'CONNELL' is inscribed in an arc along the upper legend, and the denomination '20 DOLLARS' appears in a rectangular cartouche at the lower centre of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Daniel O'Connell, the Irish nationalist who won Catholic Emancipation in 1829 and later campaigned for repeal of the Act of Union, had a specific and documented connection to Liberia that most buyers of this coin would not expect: he was one of the most prominent transatlantic abolitionists of his era, explicitly linking Irish liberation to the emancipation of enslaved Africans. Liberia's choice to honor him is not arbitrary sentiment.
This is part of a broader wave of Liberian silver commemoratives issued around 2002 — a period when the country was in the grip of its second civil war under Charles Taylor.
