Liberia's commemorative program in the late 1990s was aggressively commercial, producing dozens of thematic issues annually for the collector market with essentially no connection to Liberian history. This coin is one of them. The Berlin Airlift ran from June 1948 to May 1949, during which Western Allied aircraft flew roughly 200,000 sorties to supply West Berlin after the Soviet Union blocked all land corridors into the city.
"Hurra, wir leben noch" — "Hurray, we're still alive" — was a phrase associated with the relief felt by West Berliners as the airlift held. The blockade was lifted after 318 days when the Soviets concluded it had failed to force Western withdrawal.
