Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in Liberia, but it features the coat of arms of Turkey on one side and the portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on the other. This is unusual because Liberia and Turkey do not share a common history or cultural heritage, and it is not clear why the coin would feature Turkish symbols. It is possible that this coin was minted as a collector's item or as a way to commemorate a specific event or relationship between the two countries.
