5 Dollars Titanic without '$5'

Liberia issued a sprawling series of commemorative five-dollar pieces around 2000, licensed to various private minting and marketing operations that flooded the collector market with thematic pieces tied to pop-culture anniversaries. The Titanic sinking's 1998 cinematic revival generated particular demand. This variant — struck without the dollar sign on the face — is either a known die omission or a deliberate variant released to secondary markets; collectors who track the full Titanic commemorative run from this issuer document both versions.
