5 Dollars Martin Van Buren

Liberia has issued commemorative five-dollar pieces featuring American presidents since the 1990s, contracting production to private mints — primarily the Pobjoy Mint and various German houses — with no meaningful connection to Liberian monetary circulation. These pieces were struck explicitly for the collector market and never served as working currency in Liberia or anywhere else.

Van Buren remains one of the least commemorated presidents in American numismatics, which makes the Liberian series one of the few places his portrait appears on a struck piece at all.
