Additional information

Liberia's early 2000s commemorative program was essentially a licensing operation — the government contracted foreign minting houses, primarily in China and Germany, to produce themed collector coins carrying Liberian face values that bore no relationship to any domestic monetary reality. This piece is part of that wave, issued for the Chinese lunar calendar market rather than for Liberian circulation or treasury purposes.

KM#800 sits in a catalog sequence dense with similar issues from the same period, most struck by B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich or the Pobjoy Mint.
