20 Dollars Franz Grillparzer

Franz Grillparzer, Austria's preeminent 19th-century dramatist, has no discernible connection to Liberia. This piece belongs to the broad category of collector-targeted silver issues produced under license arrangements that allowed foreign mints and distributors to use Liberian legal tender status as a vehicle for themed numismatic series — in this case almost certainly part of a "Famous Europeans" or similar marketed set. The Central Bank of Liberia issued dozens of such coins in the early 2000s, none intended for circulation.
