Interesting fact
The 1997 Liberia 1 Dollar (North African Campaign) coin is a non-circulating commemorative coin that was issued to honor the 50th anniversary of the North African Campaign during World War II. The coin features a design that depicts a soldier standing in front of a tank, with the Liberian flag in the background. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was produced in a limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
