The obverse of the coin presents a portrait of Pope Leo XIV standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. This scene reflects the traditional announcement of a new pope with the phrase Habemus Papam, capturing the moment Pope Leo XIV first greeted the crowd gathered in St. Peter’s Square.

On the reverse, the coin displays the coat of arms of Liberia. This design shows a historic sailing ship approaching the coast, representing the arrival of freed American slaves who helped establish Liberia in 1822. Above the shield, a dove carries a scroll as a symbol of peace, while a ribbon beneath the image bears the national motto.
