| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, contracting production to foreign mints — primarily in Germany and Poland — to generate collector revenue rather than circulating currency. This piece belongs to a broad series capitalizing on medieval military orders, a commercially reliable theme in the modern commemorative market. The Templar order was dissolved by papal decree at the Council of Vienne in 1312, its leadership burned, its assets absorbed by the Hospitallers.
