| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid color-printed depiction of the French SNCF TGV Réseau high-speed train in its distinctive silver and blue livery, rendered in three-quarter perspective as it travels at speed along the track. The Eiffel Tower rises prominently in the left background, set against an engraved sky with stylized clouds and a rocky landscape to the right, all rendered in the uncolored silver field surrounding the central color application. The legend 'HISTORY OF RAILROADS' arcs along the upper rim in bold raised letters, flanked by five-pointed stars, while 'TGV RÉSEAU' curves along the lower right portion of the rim. The overall composition conveys motion and the iconic association of the TGV with French engineering heritage. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued commemorative silver pieces tied to French infrastructure for decades, typically licensing imagery through agreements with SNCF or affiliated bodies. The TGV Réseau — introduced in 1992 to handle both high-speed and conventional network traffic — was the third generation of TGV trainset and the first designed for true multi-network operation across France's expanding rail grid.
