Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, on one side, and the Liberian coat of arms on the other. This is unusual because Liberia has its own currency, the Liberian dollar, and it is not common for a country to issue a coin with the image of a foreign leader. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper-nickel and weighs 11.22 grams makes it a unique and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
