Interesting fact
The Raid on the Dams coin from Liberia features a unique design that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the World War II operation known as "Operation Chastise," where a squadron of British Lancaster bombers carried out a daring raid on several dams in Nazi Germany's Ruhr Valley, causing significant damage to the enemy's industrial capabilities.
