Low mintage, as all of the gold NCLT in this series are. Wonderful design that follows the long tradition of Liberty on the coins of Liberia. This may also known as the Amazon design from sales brochures. Seeking confirmation on mintage, & weight. The reverse does show milky toning as seen in the photo.
Note: In 1872, chief engraver William Barber proposed an Amazonian capped bust design for all gold coins. Only a single gold pattern set was minted; priceless today! Caution! These may be gilt silver coins, PCGS does not indicate this, and I challenge you to find an 'official' source of information on these. I believe KM only lists one (incuse Indian) of the Liberian Tribute series of NCLT commemoratives.
GENERAL INFO: These new coins picture Miss Liberty, designed by George Morgan for the Morgan Silver Dollars, issued from 1878-1921; Miss Liberty, designed by Anthony De Francisci for the Peace Silver Dollars, issued from 1921-1935; Seated Liberty, designed by Christian Gobrecht for the Seated Liberty Silver Dollars, issued from 1836-1873; and Seated Liberty, designed by William Barber for the Trade Dollars, issued from 1873-1885. In addition, the most desired Pattern designs (proposed for US silver and gold coins, but never used) are recreated in all of their beauty: "Amazonian" by William Barber (1872), "Washlady" by Charles Barber (1879), "Schoolgirl" by George T. Morgan (1879), and "Shield Earring" by George T. Morgan (1882). These are official commemorative coins issued by The Republic of Liberia.
