Liberia's silver coinage of this period was struck almost entirely at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham, under contract — the young republic lacked any domestic minting capacity. These coins were effectively a monetary import, ordered in batches as the government required them rather than struck continuously, which explains the uneven distribution of dates across the series.
The 1906 issue closed out the type; subsequent Liberian coinage wouldn't resume in silver until well into the twentieth century.
