| Reverse description | A detailed relief depiction of a vintage Titan truck — an early twentieth-century gasoline traction engine — occupies the central field, shown in three-quarter left-facing view set against a furrowed agricultural landscape suggesting a farming environment. The vehicle's spoke wheels, open cab framework, canopy roof, and engine components are rendered with fine mechanical detail. The inscription TITAN TRUCK arcs along the upper border, while the date 2021 appears in the lower exergual area. |

| Additional information |
Nauru's sovereign coinage exists almost entirely as a revenue mechanism — the island nation of roughly 10,000 people has no meaningful domestic coin circulation and funds a portion of its government through numismatic licensing deals with foreign minting houses. The Titan Truck series falls squarely into that category, produced for the collector market with no pretense of monetary function.
Titanium is genuinely difficult to strike cleanly at this diameter, requiring specialized dies and controlled pressure that most standard presses cannot manage without surface defects.
