| Reverse description | The reverse features a front-facing bust portrait of Julius Caesar, the Roman statesman and general, rendered in a neoclassical style against a mirrored proof field. The portrait is unadorned and bare-headed, with short hair and strong facial features, occupying the right-centre of the design. The legend JULIUS CAESAR arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination $25 appears to the lower left of the portrait in the open field. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's late-1990s and early-2000s gold miniature program was a commercial licensing operation aimed squarely at the collector market, with virtually no domestic circulation intended. This piece belongs to a series of small-denomination "tribute" issues produced under contract by foreign minting facilities — the Central Bank lending its issuing authority while bearing little relationship to actual Liberian monetary policy.
Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March, 44 BC, having been declared dictator perpetuo only weeks earlier.
