The legend GOOD LUCK arcs along the upper left and GOLD LUCK along the upper right of the rim, separated by a small four-leaf clover motif at the apex.

| Additional information |
Palau's bullion and novelty gold program has leaned heavily on luck-themed issues since the early 2010s, targeting the gift and collectibles market rather than numismatists. This piece was struck by the Bode Miller–era output of B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich under license, part of a broader wave of sub-2g fractional gold issues flooding the market from Pacific island sovereignties whose mint relationships far outpace their actual economies.
KM#793 attribution places it squarely within Palau's prolific licensed coinage catalog — a program that has issued hundreds of distinct types, making registry meaningful only to type collectors chasing the series.
