| Obverse description | The arms of the Republic of Liberia depicted at center, featuring a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove in flight, and a plough with a spade in the foreground, all within a shield surmounted by an open scroll bearing the national motto. The date 2003 is split to either side of the arms, with '20' at left and '03' at right. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, and a second inscription 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' appears on a scroll below the shield. The coin exhibits a reeded border with a fine milled inner ring framing the design. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was frankly a collector-market operation dressed as sovereign coinage — the country issued dozens of themed silver pieces during this period, most with negligible domestic circulation and a primary market in European and American novelty collectors. The Watergate issue belongs squarely to that category.
The break-in occurred June 17, 1972; Nixon resigned August 9, 1974 — the first U.S. president to do so.
