| Additional information |
Liberia's commemorative output in the 1990s was prolific to the point of absurdity — the country issued dozens of foreign-themed collector pieces annually, most with no connection to Liberian history whatsoever. This piece was struck following Diana's death in August 1997, part of a wave of memorial issues from small-nation mints targeting the international collector market. The "Charity" designation references her humanitarian work, but the coin itself was a commercial product, not a philanthropic one.
