| Reverse description | A large, highly detailed front-facing portrait of a German Shepherd dog dominates the entire field, rendered with fine engraving that captures the texture of the fur, the alert expression, and the characteristic facial markings of the breed. The dog's head is centrally positioned and occupies most of the coin's surface, with its direct gaze lending the design a striking presence. An ornate mandala pattern in low relief forms a decorative halo around the dog's head and extends to the periphery of the field, incorporating petal, leaf, and geometric motifs in the style of traditional Eastern decorative art. The reverse carries no legend or inscription. |

| Additional information |
Liberia has issued gold fractional pieces under novelty licensing arrangements since the 1990s, typically with minimal connection to Liberian monetary history. This "Shvana, the Dog Mandala" piece belongs to a category of modern bullion-adjacent collectibles produced almost entirely for the international collector market — Liberia's name and denomination appear as a legal convenience rather than any expression of national monetary policy.
At 0.155 g fine gold, the metal content is negligible by bullion standards. The $30 face value is nominal fiction.
