| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Liberia at center, featuring a shield bearing a sailing ship and a dove, supported by a sea serpent, with a palm tree rising above the shield. The date is divided on either side of the arms, with '20' to the left and '05' to the right. The outer legend reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arching above, with 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' inscribed in a smaller arc within the border, and 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' repeated along the lower rim. The design is struck in high-relief proof finish against a mirror field, with a fine reeded border surrounding the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's gold miniature series of the mid-2000s was produced primarily for the collector market, with no meaningful domestic circulation — Liberia's actual monetary system relied on U.S. dollars and low-denomination Liberian coins during this period of post-civil war reconstruction. These fractional gold pieces were contract-struck abroad and sold through international coin dealers, with Liberia's nominal authority lending legal-tender status to what are functionally bullion collectibles.
At 0.73 g, this piece contains roughly 0.023 troy ounces of fine gold.
