| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is centrally displayed, featuring a sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, a dove, and a plough within a circular cartouche, encircled by the motto legend 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE'. The date '2000' is split to either side of the arms in the field, and the denomination '20 DOLLARS' appears in the lower exergue. The outer legend reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' along the upper periphery, with a repeated inscription 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' on a ribbon scroll beneath the arms. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's Olympic commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was essentially a licensing operation — the coins were designed, produced, and distributed almost entirely by outside minting and marketing firms, with Liberia collecting a small royalty. The country itself was in the middle of a civil war at the time of issue. No meaningful domestic distribution ever occurred.
