| Reverse description | The reverse presents a centrally positioned Liberty Bell rendered in high relief, flanked symmetrically by two iconic Washington, D.C. landmarks: the White House to the left and the United States Capitol building to the right. The architectural details of each structure are depicted with numismatic precision, evoking the semiquincentennial commemoration of American independence. The upper arc bears the legend SEMIQUINCENTENNIAL OF INDEPENDENCE, with the inscription 250 YEARS prominently displayed in the central field. The commemorative dates 1776 and 2026 flank the lower portion of the design, anchoring the composition chronologically. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued commemorative silver rounds under its authority since the 1990s, almost exclusively for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The country's own currency, the Liberian dollar, bears no practical relationship to these USD-denominated issues — the $5 face value is a legal fiction calibrated to foreign buyers, not Liberian commerce.
A 62.2g .999 silver piece is a 2-troy-ounce format, increasingly common among bullion-adjacent commemoratives competing for shelf space against sovereign mint products.
