The legend 'FORT SUMTER' arcs across the upper field, while the date '2001' appears in the lower exergue. The scene captures artillery fire and the fortification under assault, serving as the central design element within the coin's field. |

| Additional information |
Fort Sumter entered Confederate hands in April 1861 after a 34-hour bombardment — the opening engagement of the American Civil War — and remained under Confederate control until February 1865. Liberia's commemorative issues of this period were produced largely for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation in Liberia itself.
