| Obverse description | The central field features the full Arms of the Republic of Liberia, depicting a sailing ship at sea with a rising sun and a palm tree on the shoreline, surmounted by a scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE. The shield is supported by a dove to the left and a dove to the right, with a plough in the base. The date 1997 is divided by the arms to either side, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears in the lower legend. The peripheral legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA arcs around the upper rim, with a secondary inscription REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA on the ribbon below the shield. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a tender portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, shown in three-quarter view gazing downward at the infant Prince William, whom she cradles gently in her arms. Diana is depicted with her characteristic short, layered hairstyle and wearing a draped garment, while the swaddled infant reaches upward toward her hand in an intimate maternal scene. The legend DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the dates 1961 and 1997. The inscription BIRTH OF WILLIAM curves along the lower rim, all within a beaded inner border. |
