To the right of the arms, the issuer name 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' is inscribed in bold raised Latin lettering across three lines, with the denomination '50 DOLLARS' displayed beneath in two lines. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has no domestic gold refining capacity and outsources virtually all its commemorative bullion programs to private mints, primarily in Europe. These issues are legal tender in name only — Liberia's actual circulating currency is the Liberian dollar, and no $50 face value coin has ever seen a cash register in Monrovia.
The 2010 lunar issue falls within a wave of sub-Saharan African nation-branded bullion struck for the Asian collector market, where demand for .9999 fine gold lunar-themed pieces was substantial that year.
