| Additional information |
Liberia's late-1990s and early-2000s commemorative output was enormous in volume and narrow in numismatic credibility — dozens of foreign-themed issues struck in base metal alloys and sold almost exclusively through television shopping channels and mail-order catalogues to non-collectors. This piece belongs squarely to that category. The Liberian government licensed its minting authority extensively during this period, with the actual production contracted to private mints in the United States and Europe.
No evidence of genuine circulation in Liberia. The face value is nominal fiction.
