| Obverse description | The central field bears the full coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, featuring a sailing ship on open water, a palm tree, and a rising sun within a shield, supported by crossed implements beneath and a perched dove above. A scroll across the shield bears the national motto in the legend. The date 1993 is divided to the left and right of the arms. The outer legend reads REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA along the upper periphery, with a secondary legend at the lower periphery reading REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA on a ribbon. The denomination and metal specification ONE KILO 300 DOLLARS FINE SILVER appear along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 1990s large-format silver issues were squarely aimed at the collector novelty market, produced under licensing arrangements that had little connection to the Liberian government's actual monetary operations. By 1993, the country was mid-civil war — the First Liberian Civil War had fractured the state sufficiently that coinage policy was effectively outsourced to foreign minting contractors producing pieces that would never see domestic circulation.
The KM#107 designation places this within a crowded field of Liberian-licensed commemoratives from that decade, most struck by private European mints on behalf of distributors.
