5 Dollars Princess Diana - Mother Teresa

Liberia's commemorative coinage of the late 1990s was largely the product of foreign licensing arrangements, with designs contracted out to private minting firms — chiefly in the United States and Germany — targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. This piece was issued the year Diana died, placing it squarely in the flood of memorial issues that followed the August 1997 Paris crash. Mother Teresa died just five days after Diana, on September 5th, which prompted a handful of issuers to pair the two women on a single coin.
