| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed battle scene commemorating the D-Day landings at Normandy depicts Allied soldiers storming the beach from landing craft, rendered in high relief against a tumultuous sea and shoreline. In the foreground, a prominent military commander is shown greeting or directing troops, evoking the historic leadership of the Operation Overlord campaign of June 1944. The legend 'OPERATION OVERLORD' arcs along the upper border, with 'AMERICA AT WAR' inscribed below the central design, and the denomination '20 DOLLARS' placed in the lower exergue. |

Liberia built an entire cottage industry around commemorative silver issues in the late 1990s and early 2000s, licensing designs to foreign minting houses and flooding the collector market with pieces that had no domestic circulation whatsoever. This coin is part of that output — struck almost certainly by a European contractor, nominally denominated in Liberian dollars at a time when the country's own currency was in severe distress following years of civil war under Charles Taylor's government.
Operation Overlord itself was authorized at the Tehran Conference in November 1943, where Stalin pressed Roosevelt and Churchill to commit to a firm date for the Western Front landings.
