| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia occupies the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea before a rising sun, with a palm tree and a dove in flight above the shoreline, all enclosed within a decorative wreath. A ribbon scroll above the shield bears the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE in raised Latin letters. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper rim, and the same inscription appears again on a scroll at the base of the arms. The date 2000 is divided on either side of the central device, with 20 to the left and 00 to the right. The entire design is framed by a fine toothed border running along the inner edge of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's late-1990s and early-2000s commemorative silver program was prolific to the point of absurdity — the Central Bank licensed dozens of foreign-themed issues with no connection to Liberian history, minted almost entirely for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. This James Cook piece is one of several hundred types produced under that arrangement, struck by outside minting contractors and sold through wholesale distributors.
Cook was killed at Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii, in February 1779 during a botched attempt to recover a stolen cutter from local chiefs.
