Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Martin Van Buren 5 Dollar coin from Liberia is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to have a portrait of Martin Van Buren, the 8th President of the United States, but instead, it features a portrait of a different person, believed to be a Liberian government official. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is considered a rare and unique piece in the numismatic world.
