| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Liberia occupies the central field, featuring a shield with a sailing ship approaching shore, a palm tree, a plough, and a rising sun, all enclosed within a decorative wreath. The motto legend 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' arcs across a ribbon within the arms. The date '2010' is divided by the shield to the left and right. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' curves along the upper periphery, while the denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS' appears in the lower exergue. The design is struck in high relief with a deeply mirrored prooflike field. |

| Additional information |
Harrison's presidency is more often remembered for what surrounded it than for the man himself — Grover Cleveland won the popular vote in 1888, lost the Electoral College, then returned four years later to defeat Harrison in a rematch. Liberia's long-running series of U.S. presidential commemoratives has no formal connection to American numismatic authorities; these are foreign-issued collector pieces produced largely for the international souvenir market, with Liberia lending its issuing authority to items it has no organic historical relationship with.
