Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1979 Liberian 5 Cents coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing the official emblem of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), which was a grouping of African countries that aimed to promote unity, cooperation, and solidarity among its member states. The emblem features a stylized image of the African continent, surrounded by a circle of stars, symbolizing the unity and solidarity of the African nations. This design was specifically created for the OAU meeting held in Liberia in 1979, which is why the coin is also known as the "OAU Meeting" coin.
