| Additional information |
The Central Bank of Liberia issued a prolonged series of foreign-themed collector coins around the turn of the millennium, largely marketed through overseas distributors to the international numismatic trade rather than circulated domestically. Liberia's own economy was in ruins — the country was still recovering from the First Liberian Civil War and would descend into a second one in 1999, the very year many of these pieces were being contracted for production.
The "Great Britain" denomination in US dollars reflects the purely exonumia nature of the issue — legal tender in name only, struck to a collector specification and never intended to pass through Liberian commerce.
