| Reverse description | The reverse features two children — a boy and a girl — seated together and examining a collection of world coins spread before them in the lower field. A globe is depicted in the upper left, with additional coins cascading from it toward the central design, evoking the worldwide scope of numismatics. The denomination $25 appears in the lower central field. The legend STANDARD CATALOG OF WORLD COINS arcs along the left and lower periphery, while 25TH ANNIVERSARY is inscribed along the upper border, flanked by the dates 1972 and 1997 commemorating the publication's anniversary. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's 1990s commemorative silver program was prolific to the point of embarrassment — dozens of large-format issues were contracted through private mints and marketed almost entirely to the Western collector trade, with negligible circulation or use within Liberia itself. The country was mid-civil war when many of these were struck, the Charles Taylor–led NPFL controlling much of the interior while the internationally recognized government retained nominal authority.
KM#323 falls squarely within that output. The 77-gram format corresponds to a 2.5 troy ounce planchet used across multiple Liberian issues of this period.
