| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the mythological scene of the Rape of Europa, showing the figure of Europa draped and riding upon the back of Zeus in the form of a bull, rendered in high relief against a mirror-proof field. The composition is superimposed over an outline map of Europe, with a ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircling the design, referencing the European Union flag. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA' and denomination '$1' with the year '2002' appear along the right periphery. |

| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s dollar series targeting European currency collectors arrived just as the eurozone was making its physical debut — euro banknotes and coins entered circulation on January 1, 2002, rendering twelve national currencies obsolete almost overnight. These pieces were produced speculatively for the souvenir and collector market, with no meaningful connection to Liberian monetary policy.
The Netherlands guilder ceased legal tender status on January 28, 2002.
