Interesting fact
The 2000 Liberian 5 Dollar coin featuring Abraham Lincoln was actually issued as part of a series of coins commemorating the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. The coin's design features a portrait of Lincoln on the obverse (front side) and the Liberian coat of arms on the reverse (back side). This coin is notable not only for its unique design but also for its limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
