Liberia 5 dollars History of Winter Sports Hockey niobium coin 2006

The 2006 Liberia 5 Dollars “Hockey” niobium coin from the History of Winter Sports series celebrates ice hockey and its long international sporting tradition. Its vivid turquoise-green niobium surface gives the issue a distinctive modern appearance. The reverse depicts a hockey player in full action, wearing a helmet, jersey, gloves, padded shorts, socks and ice skates while controlling a puck with a curved hockey stick. Engraved lines suggest the ice rink and rapid skating movement. A large snowflake and a separate silhouette of a hockey player with stick reinforce the winter theme, while references to Nagano 1998, Salt Lake City 2002, Lillehammer 1994 and Torino 2006 recall major Winter Olympic host cities. The obverse displays Liberia’s coat of arms with a sailing ship, flying bird, palm tree, rising sun, sea and plow within an ornate shield and ribbon, accompanied by the 2006 date and 5 Dollars denomination. Combining unusual niobium coloration, detailed sporting equipment and Olympic history, this eye-catching coin is an excellent collectible for hockey fans and world numismatists.
