Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ferdinand Magellan 25 Dollar gold coin from Liberia is that it features an error in its design. The coin was minted with a portrait of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. However, the coin mistakenly features a image of a ship that is not the Victoria, which was the ship that Magellan and his crew used during their voyage. Instead, the coin features a image of a galleon, which was a type of ship that was not used during Magellan's expedition. This error has made the coin a unique and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
