| Obverse description | The central field displays the coat of arms of Liberia, featuring a shield with a sailing ship, a rising sun, a dove, and a plow, flanked by palm leaves and surmounted by a ribbon. The date is divided on either side of the arms, with the denomination '5 DOLLARS' inscribed below. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the national motto 'THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE' appears along the lower arc. The design is struck on a puzzle-piece shaped flan, with the legends and devices confined within the irregular curved outline of the piece. |

| Reverse description | A bearded bust of the Apostle Peter (Petrus) is rendered in relief at the center-right of the puzzle-piece shaped flan, depicted in a naturalistic style with flowing beard and classical drapery. To the left of the bust, two crossed keys — the traditional attribute of Saint Peter symbolizing the keys to Heaven — are prominently displayed in relief. The legend 'PETRUS' is inscribed in raised letters along the upper arc of the flan. The overall composition fills the irregular curved outline of the puzzle piece, with ample open field surrounding the primary design elements. |
