25 Dollars Franz Kafka

Liberia's early 2000s gold miniature program produced dozens of these small-format issues targeting the collector novelty market rather than any coherent numismatic tradition. Kafka himself died in 1924 before completing several of his major works, leaving Max Brod to defy his explicit instructions and publish them posthumously — an irony that would have suited the author perfectly. The Liberian government had no meaningful connection to Kafka or Czech literary history; the denomination is nominal and the coin never circulated.
