Liberia: 25th Anniversary of the Krugerrand $10 Gold 2005 Proof

Liberia: 25th Anniversary of Krugerrand $10 Gold 2005 Proof is an unusual issue commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Krugerrand—the world’s most famous bullion coin, introduced in 1967. Although the design references the South African series, the piece was struck for Liberia and bears its official issuing features.

The coin is made of .585 gold and weighs 0.5 g. The fine gold content is 0.2925 g. Due to its small format and the limited nature of the issue, it is an interesting option for collectors of Krugerrand-themed and commemorative coins. The piece is delivered with a certificate of authenticity, which additionally confirms its origin and specifications.

Obverse: features the coat of arms of the Republic of Liberia, surrounded by the inscription REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA and the issue date 2005. The composition emphasizes the official character of the piece.

Reverse: shows the portrait of Paul Kruger—the President of the Republic of South Africa and patron of the Krugerrand series. Around the rim appear the inscriptions SOUTH AFRICA and 25th ANNIVERSARY OF KRUGERRAND, with the face value $10 at the bottom. The motif directly refers to the iconic styling of the classic Krugerrand.
