Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1999 Liberian 5 Dollar coin, also known as "The Big Wheel," is that it features a unique design that showcases a large wheel on the obverse side, which represents the country's efforts to rebuild and move forward after years of civil war. The wheel is surrounded by the words "Unity," "Justice," and "Progress," which are the three core values enshrined in Liberia's national motto. This design serves as a powerful symbol of hope and resilience for the Liberian people.
