| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Liberia is prominently displayed in the centre of the field, featuring a three-masted sailing ship on the sea, a palm tree, a rising sun, and a plough beneath a dove in flight, all enclosed within a shield surmounted by a scroll bearing the motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE'. The date 1998 flanks the shield at left and right. The outer legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs above, with 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' repeated on a ribbon below the shield. The denomination '2500 DOLLARS' is inscribed in large characters along the lower rim, flanked by 'FIVE OUNCES' at lower left and 'FINE GOLD' at lower right. A beaded inner border and reeded edge frame the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's high-denomination gold issues of the late 1990s were produced almost entirely for the international collector market — the country was in the midst of a devastating civil war, and these pieces had no meaningful domestic monetary function whatsoever. The Franklin Mint and affiliated private contractors handled much of this production, with Liberia lending its issuing authority to a broad program of commemorative coinage that generated foreign exchange revenue during a period when the government controlled little of its own territory.
The "Type I" designation distinguishes this strike from a subsequent variant, though documentation differentiating the two in auction records remains inconsistent.
