| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed historical scene commemorating the signing of the Mayflower Compact of 1620. In the left and center field, a group of Pilgrim settlers in period dress are depicted gathered around a table, signing the historic document. To the right, the three-masted sailing vessel Mayflower is rendered at sea under full sail. The circumferential legend 'HISTORY OF AMERICA · RATIFICATION OF THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT 1620' arcs around the upper and side periphery, with the denomination '$20' inscribed along the lower field. The composition is executed in a finely detailed relief against a polished field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has no historical connection to the Mayflower Compact of 1620, and the Central Bank issued dozens of coins during this period targeting the American commemorative collector market rather than domestic circulation. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw Liberia flood the numismatic market with licensed-theme silver issues — American presidents, space missions, British royalty — most produced by private minting operations in Europe on behalf of the Liberian government, which collected seigniorage fees while retaining nominal issuing authority.
KM#660 is one of several hundred such types cataloged from this era. Mintage figures were rarely audited.
