| Additional information |
Palau's "Dealer Button" series occupies an odd corner of modern numismatics — legal tender coins shaped to replicate the dealer button used in poker to mark the rotating position of the nominal dealer. This particular piece was struck during the late-2000s boom in poker-themed collectibles, when the World Series of Poker was drawing peak television audiences and manufacturers were flooding the market with poker memorabilia of every description.
Palau has long issued coins under licensing arrangements with foreign minting firms, with the island nation's treasury collecting a fee while bearing no responsibility for distribution or demand forecasting.
