20 Dollars Horatio Nelson

Liberia's 1990s commemorative program was one of the most aggressive coin-for-export operations of the era — the country issued hundreds of silver pieces targeting foreign collectors, with virtually no connection to Liberian history or currency use. This Nelson piece is squarely in that mold: produced for the international numismatic market, almost certainly by a European or South African private mint on contract, and never intended to circulate.

Nelson died at Trafalgar in October 1805, and Liberia was founded as an American Colonization Society settlement in 1822.
