| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, naturalistically rendered seastar (starfish) in full color applied to the recessed central field, exhibiting a vivid pattern of deep red, orange, white, and pale blue spots across its five radiating arms, replicating the intricate texture of a Pacific species. The colorized starfish is set against a smooth, matte silver field within a raised inner border. The curved legend 'PACIFIC WILDLIFE' arcs along the upper periphery, and the date '2007' is inscribed below it at the top of the inner field. |

| Additional information |
Palau's marine-themed silver program, running since the late 1990s, was among the first Pacific island series to successfully market collectible coinage to European buyers through licensed distributors — particularly in Germany and Austria. The Republic has no meaningful domestic numismatic market; these pieces were conceived entirely for export.
KM# 199 is part of a multi-coin seastar subset within that broader program, issued under Palau's authority as a sovereign nation but struck under contract at overseas facilities.
