| Reverse description | A full-length figure of a haloed pilgrim saint, identified with Santiago (Saint James the Apostle), stands in the center of the field, rendered in high relief. The saint is depicted wearing a long robe and cloak, holding a tall staff topped with a cross in his right hand and a book in his left, with a halo encircling his head. Behind the figure, an architectural panorama extends across the field, featuring the ornate Baroque facade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to the left and the distinctive spires of Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família basilica in Barcelona to the right. The country name ESPAÑA is inscribed in the upper field, and the denomination 20 DOLLARS appears along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank issued a prolonged series of foreign-themed commemoratives through the late 1990s and early 2000s, contracting production almost entirely to overseas private mints — primarily in Germany and South Korea — with no meaningful connection to the subjects depicted. These pieces circulated as legal tender in name only; the domestic economy ran almost exclusively on US dollars.
KM# 400 falls within a documented pattern of mass-produced commemorative issues that flooded secondary markets and third-party grading services in the early 2000s, drawing sharp criticism from numismatic organizations over questionable issuing practices.
