| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative dollar series of the late 1990s and early 2000s was produced almost entirely for the collector export market, with virtually no pieces entering domestic circulation in a country then consumed by the Second Liberian Civil War. The Cologne Cathedral piece is one of dozens of world-landmark issues struck during this period, all contracted through foreign minting intermediaries and sold via overseas distributors.
KM#440 is copper-nickel, not silver — a distinction that significantly affects secondary market pricing, as many buyers conflate it with the silver-washed variants that circulated through the same distribution channels simultaneously.
