Comment
James Cook was born in 1728 and not in 1729Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 5 Dollars (James Cook) 1999 from Liberia made of Silver (.925) weighing 24.97 g is that it features an image of Captain James Cook, a British explorer and navigator who is known for his voyages to the Pacific Ocean and his contributions to the fields of navigation, cartography, and natural history. The coin was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Cook's death and features a detailed image of his ship, the HMS Endeavour, on the reverse side.
