| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Liberia is depicted centrally, featuring a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove in flight, and a plough with a spade in the foreground, all enclosed within a wreath of leaves. A scroll above the shield bears the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery, with a secondary inscription REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA appearing on a ribbon at the base of the shield. The date 2001 is divided by the coat of arms, with 20 to the left and 01 to the right in the field. A finely milled border frames the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
McClellan's appearance on a Liberian commemorative reflects the wave of American Civil War issues Liberia produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s — a licensing-driven series aimed squarely at the U.S. collector market rather than domestic circulation. Liberia had essentially no functioning economy at the time; the series was a revenue instrument, full stop.
McClellan himself remains one of the war's more contentious figures — relieved by Lincoln twice, he ran against Lincoln in 1864 on a peace platform and lost. A strange subject for celebration, but the series cast a wide net.
