| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is centrally depicted, featuring a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a plow, and a shovel on the shield, with a rising sun in the background. The shield is flanked by decorative scrollwork and surmounted by a dove in flight. The date is split by the shield, with '20' to the left and '03' to the right in the exergue area. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper rim, while the motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' curves around the inner border of the shield. A secondary inscription 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appears on a ribbon beneath the shield. |
