| Beschrijving voorzijde | The arms of the Republic of Liberia occupy the central field, depicting a sailing ship at sea with a palm tree and a rising sun on the shore, surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The date 2000 is divided across the lower field, flanking the shield on either side. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs along the upper periphery, while a second inscription REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA appears on a ribbon below the arms, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS along the lower rim. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed depiction of Jules Verne's fictional submarine Nautilus dominates the field, shown in left-facing profile traversing an underwater seascape rich with seaweed, shells, and marine flora along the seabed. The vessel is rendered with meticulous riveted plating, portholes, and a propeller at the stern, with light rays suggesting the ocean surface above. The legend NAUTILUS arcs along the upper field in bold relief, while the denomination $20 is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's late-1990s and early-2000s commemorative silver program was one of the most prolific — and commercially cynical — in the history of modern numismatics. Produced almost entirely for the collector market by European minting houses with no meaningful connection to Liberia itself, these issues were authorized in bulk under licensing arrangements that generated revenue for the government while the coins never approached Liberian shores.
The nautilus motif places this squarely in a wave of nature-themed issues flooding the market around 2000, most struck by the Bavarian State Mint or B.H. Mayer on behalf of various Pacific and African sovereigns.
