| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank issued a substantial run of commemorative gold pieces throughout the early 2000s, many with no meaningful connection to Liberia itself — the Titanic series being a clear example. These were produced explicitly for the collector market and never intended for domestic circulation, functioning essentially as licensed bullion novelties sold through third-party distributors in Europe and North America.
At 1.13 g of .999 gold, the coin contains just over 1/28 of a troy ounce — an awkward fractional weight that aligns with neither standard bullion denominations nor conventional proof sizing, suggesting the gold content was calculated backward from a retail price point rather than any minting convention.
