| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia is centrally displayed, featuring a shield bearing a sailing ship, a palm tree, and a rising sun above the sea, flanked by a dove and an open book, with a scroll bearing the national motto at the base. The date 2002 is divided by the shield, with '20' to the left and '02' to the right. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' appears on the ribbon within the arms. A secondary legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' is inscribed along the lower rim on a scroll beneath the shield. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s gold miniature series was a commercial product aimed squarely at the collector market, with Churchill appearing alongside other 20th-century figures in near-identical formats. These were produced by private minting firms under Liberian authority — a country that issued far more numismatic product than its domestic economy could ever absorb, relying entirely on international collector demand to give the pieces any value beyond their negligible gold content.
