| Obverse description | Central field features an elaborate geometric and spirographic design composed of interlacing elliptical curves and looping orbital motifs, rendered in fine relief against a recessed background. A ring of five-pointed stars encircles the central design at mid-field, evenly spaced along the inner border. The legend "REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA" arcs along the upper left rim, with the date "2002" and denomination "$1" continuing along the upper right, all in Latin characters. The overall aesthetic is modern and abstract, consistent with the commemorative fantasy coin series. |

| Additional information |
Liberia pegged its dollar to the US dollar at par from 1944, a relationship that held with varying degrees of credibility through decades of political instability. This oversized copper-nickel piece was issued during the post-civil war period when the Central Bank of Liberia was struggling to re-establish basic monetary infrastructure — commemorative and novelty issues like this one filled catalog pages while the domestic economy ran largely on US banknotes and informal exchange.
