| Reverse description | A right-facing truncated bust portrait of Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, dominates the central field, rendered in high relief in a classical engraved style. The legend CALVIN COOLIDGE arcs along the upper periphery. To the right of the portrait, the dates 1923 and 1929 denote his presidential term, accompanied by a small star, while the year of issue 2000 appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative dollar series of the late 1990s and early 2000s was a frankly commercial operation — dozens of foreign leaders, American presidents among them, issued under Liberian authority primarily for the international collector market rather than any domestic monetary purpose. Coolidge is an odd inclusion: he is rarely commemorated anywhere, his presidency remembered more for what he didn't do than what he did.
The X#50 reference places this in Krause's Unusual World Coins, a telling classification.
