| Obverse description | High-relief depiction of Noah's Ark riding turbulent floodwaters, rendered in deeply sculpted antique-finish silver. The massive wooden vessel occupies the central and upper field, its hull and superstructure rendered in fine architectural detail. In the lower field, a procession of animals — including elephants, horses, and various other creatures — advances toward the gangway of the Ark, with a crocodile visible at lower left amid the churning waves. Storm clouds, lightning, and gnarled branches fill the upper background, conveying the biblical tempest. The curved legend along the upper border reads REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA · 2 oz Ag 999 · 20 DOLLARS · 2026. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued commemorative silver in bulk for decades, largely through licensing arrangements with European minting and marketing firms — the actual design, production, and distribution of pieces like this one rarely touch Monrovian soil. This coin almost certainly originates from a private mint operating under contract, with Liberia providing legal tender status in exchange for licensing fees.
The antique finish is applied chemically post-strike to simulate age and enhance relief contrast.
