The subject's name MURRAY ROTHBARD arcs along the upper legend in capital letters. To the right of the bust, the numeral 3 is prominently displayed in large format, with the denomination MERIT inscribed below it. A dotted border ring frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Liberland — a self-proclaimed microstate occupying a disputed 7 km² strip of land between Croatia and Serbia — issued these wooden pieces as part of its broader project to establish a functioning currency and civic identity for a territory recognized by neither neighboring country nor any international body. The Merit is Liberland's official unit of account, and physical issuances like this set were produced largely for collectors and ideological supporters rather than any practical circulation.
Wood as a coinage material has genuine historical precedent, particularly in emergency German notgeld issues of the early 1920s.
