| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a three-masted sailing ship at sea with a rising sun on the horizon, a palm tree to the right, and a dove carrying an olive branch above. The shield is supported by crossed implements and surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE in raised lettering. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery in large capital letters, flanked by a reeded inner border. The date 2004 is divided across the lower field, with 20 to the left and 04 to the right of the arms. A secondary cartouche at the base of the shield repeats REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's numismatic output in the early 2000s was dominated by a cottage industry of themed collector pieces — cars, trains, wildlife, celebrities — licensed and marketed almost entirely to Western hobbyists with no connection to the issuing nation. The Ford Model T issue is squarely in that category, produced under arrangements common to several small sovereign issuers who effectively rented their minting authority to foreign distributors during this period.
No Model T was ever sold in Liberia.
