| Obverse description | The arms of the Republic of Liberia are centrally displayed, featuring a shield depicting a sailing ship, a palm tree, and a plow above the rising sun, supported by a scroll bearing the national motto. The date 2003 is divided across the lower field, flanked on either side of the coat of arms. A continuous circular legend frames the design, with reeded border evident at the coin's periphery. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s gold program produced dozens of these miniature commemorative issues, most struck by foreign mints on contract and sold directly into the collector market rather than circulated. Roosevelt appears here as one of a recurring series of world leaders and historical figures — a format Liberia leaned on heavily during a period when the country's own monetary infrastructure was in near-collapse under Charles Taylor's government, which was under UN sanctions by 2001.
