| Reverse description | A finely engraved portrait bust of Formula One racing driver Damon Hill dominates the central field, facing slightly left, depicted in his racing suit. To the lower left, a racing helmet is shown in high relief, while a Formula One racing car is depicted in the lower portion of the field, partially framed by laurel branches extending to either side. A Union Jack flag on a pole appears to the right of the portrait. The curved legend 'DAMON HILL · FORMULA ONE' arcs around the upper periphery, and the denomination '$5' is inscribed in the lower exergue between the laurel sprays. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Additional information |
Damon Hill took his first Formula One win at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix and spent 1994 locked in one of the sport's most controversial title fights, ultimately losing the championship to Michael Schumacher at the final race in Adelaide after a collision that ended both cars. Liberia issued a sprawling series of commemorative silver pieces throughout the 1990s — nearly all destined for collector cabinets rather than any domestic circulation in a country then emerging from civil war.
