Interesting fact

The 1997 Year of the Rooster coin from Liberia was part of a series of coins issued by the country to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. The coin features an image of a rooster on one side and the Liberian coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that while the coin was issued by Liberia, it was actually minted by the Singapore Mint, which is known for producing high-quality coins.
