Liberia's late-1990s and early-2000s presidential series was a commercial product aimed squarely at the collector market, licensed through intermediaries and bearing little connection to Liberian monetary history. Fillmore appears here as the 13th president, a man so thoroughly overshadowed by the slavery crisis consuming his administration that his own Whig party refused to renominate him in 1852.
He signed the Compromise of 1850, including the Fugitive Slave Act — a decision that effectively ended both his presidency and the Whig Party itself within four years.
