25 Dollars Alfred Nobel

Liberia's early 2000s gold miniature series was produced almost entirely for the collector market by outside minting contractors — the country maintained no meaningful domestic gold minting infrastructure. Nobel himself died in 1896, and the prizes bearing his name were first awarded in 1901, funded by the bulk of his estate, which he had accumulated largely through his patents on dynamite and related explosives — a fact he was reportedly uncomfortable with in his later years.
