| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dynamic, high-relief figure of a nude discus thrower inspired by the classical Discobolus is depicted in the foreground, posed at the moment of release with the discus raised behind him. A relief map of Europe and Africa fills the background field, emphasizing the global reach of the Olympic Games. The legend ATHENS arcs prominently along the upper rim, flanked by SINCE 776 BC on the left and ATHLETES OF THE WORLD on the right. The mint initials LR and the date 2004 appear in the lower exergue, flanked by olive branch sprigs symbolic of the ancient Greek Olympic tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Liberia's Olympic commemorative program in the early 2000s was essentially a licensing operation — the coins were produced for the international collector market with no meaningful connection to Liberian monetary history or circulation. The country was emerging from the Second Liberian Civil War, which formally ended in 2003, making the timing of a gold commemorative issue particularly detached from domestic economic reality.
The .999 fine specification and 6.22g weight peg this squarely to the 1/5 oz format favored by third-party commemorative issuers of that decade.
