Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Liberia, a country in West Africa, despite being denominated in Irish dollars and featuring an image of the Irish harp on its obverse. This unusual combination of national symbols and currencies reflects the complex history of Liberia, which was founded by the American Colonization Society in 1822 as a colony for freed African-American slaves. Over time, the country developed its own unique cultural and economic ties with other nations, including Ireland.
