| Reverse description | A portrait group in high relief depicts Diana, Princess of Wales, centrally positioned and smiling, flanked by her two sons, Prince William to the left and Prince Harry to the right, all shown as bust-length effigies in a warm, informal composition. The legend DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the birth and death years 1961 and 1997 at the sides. The inscription LOVING MOTHER appears in bold letters along the lower border, serving as the dedicatory legend for this commemorative issue. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative coinage program in the 1990s was frankly opportunistic — the government licensed its minting authority extensively to foreign private minting companies, producing collectors' pieces with no domestic circulation intent whatsoever. This piece, issued in 1997 following Diana's death in August of that year, was part of a wave of memorial issues from non-Commonwealth nations rushing product to market within weeks of the Paris crash.
KM#526 is one of several distinct Diana types Liberia issued that year under different subtitles, all produced through the same licensed arrangement.
