| Obverse description | The central field displays the full coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, featuring a shield with a sailing ship at sea, a palm tree, and a rising sun, supported by crossed tools below and flanked by tusks, with a dove in flight above. A ribbon scroll bearing the national motto THE LOVE OF LIBERTY BROUGHT US HERE arches across the upper portion of the shield. The date 1998 is divided by the coat of arms in the field, with 19 to the left and 98 to the right. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA curves along the upper rim, while the lower field bears the inscriptions FIVE OUNCE 50 DOLLARS FINE SILVER and REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA on a secondary scroll beneath the arms. |
