Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by Liberia in 2005 to commemorate Germany's World Football Championship victory in 1990, despite Liberia not having any direct connection to the tournament or the German national team. This highlights the common practice of countries issuing commemorative coins for events or achievements that are not necessarily related to their own history or culture, but may be of interest to collectors or fans.
