5 Dollars Sharp Stewart No. 148

Sharp Stewart & Co. was a Glasgow locomotive manufacturer that built engines for railways across the British Empire and beyond during the Victorian era, eventually absorbed into the North British Locomotive Company in 1903. Liberia's ongoing series of railway-themed commemoratives has drawn on manufacturers with no direct Liberian connection — the country had virtually no functional rail infrastructure for most of the 20th century, its narrow-gauge mining lines long abandoned.
