| Additional information |
The "Tanzania Cheetah" branding on a Liberian-issued coin reflects the wave of African wildlife bullion and novelty issues that flooded the collector market in the early 2000s, most produced under licensing arrangements with private mints in Europe — primarily in Germany and Austria — with the issuing central bank lending its legal authority in exchange for a fee. Liberia issued dozens of such pieces across this period, many with gemstone insets and applied gilding added outside the mint proper.
KM#776 sits in a catalog sequence dense with similar commemoratives from the same program. The diamond inset eyes are a post-mint enhancement, not a sovereign minting specification.
