| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-length figure of a Boy Scout in uniform, wearing a wide-brimmed campaign hat and neckerchief, rendered in three-quarter view and executing the Scout salute with his right hand. Two Scout flags flank him symmetrically on either side, each bearing the World Scout trefoil emblem, with an additional trefoil badge visible to the upper right of the figure. At the base, a rope-bordered cartouche encloses the dates 1982 - 1983, tied below with a decorative reef knot. The legend THE YEAR OF THE SCOUT arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's 1983 gold commemorative program was largely produced for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation, with several issues from this period struck by foreign mints on contract. The Boy Scout movement in Liberia had been established under American influence dating back to the early twentieth century, reflecting the country's unusually close institutional ties to the United States.
KM#46 is one of a small cluster of Liberian gold issues from the early 1980s with mintages kept deliberately low to sustain collector premiums.
