Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Dollar (Pattern) 1889 from Liberia made of Bronze is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as an official coinage design for the country. The pattern coin features a portrait of a Liberian leader, Joseph Jenkins Roberts, on the obverse, and an image of a ship on the reverse, which represents the country's maritime history and trade. The coin was minted in 1889 as a proposal for a new coinage system for Liberia, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, the Pattern ¼ Dollar (Pattern) 1889 from Liberia made of Bronze is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
