| Obverse description |
A finely engraved Bengal tiger depicted in a low, forward-stalking posture, rendered full-body and facing the viewer, with detailed striped coat, muscular limbs, and extended forepaws dominating the central field. The animal's gaze is directed toward the observer, conveying power and tension. The surrounding legend, arranged along the rim, reads 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' to the left, '1/500 oz 2026' above, '25 Dollars' to the right, and 'PT.999' below, all in Latin script on a polished field. |
| Reverse description |
A highly detailed front-facing portrait of a roaring tiger fills the central field, depicted with open jaws revealing prominent canine teeth, intense forward-facing eyes, and a richly striated coat rendered with fine engraving. The mane-like facial ruff frames the head dramatically. The design is set within a plain, polished field bordered by a raised double rim, with no additional legend or inscription on this face. |
Liberia has no domestic platinum refining infrastructure and sources all blanks for its commemorative program through third-party minting contracts, typically routed through European private mints. At 0.062 grams, this is among the smallest platinum issues produced for any sovereign program — a weight class more associated with fractional gold novelties than with platinum, which commands a fabrication premium that makes pieces this small commercially marginal almost by definition.
