| Additional information |
The "P36" designation refers to a Pennsylvania Railroad steam locomotive, one of the most powerful passenger engines operating on American rails in the mid-twentieth century. Liberia has issued commemorative silver in this format since the 1990s, producing dozens of transportation-themed pieces with no connection to Liberian monetary history — a revenue strategy common among small nations licensing their mint authority to foreign distributors, primarily for the collector market.
These pieces never circulated.
