| 裏面の説明 | A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a Saltwater Crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) fills the field, shown in a three-quarter elevated view with jaws open revealing rows of teeth, its heavily scaled body and clawed forelimb rendered in fine relief. A second, smaller crocodile is depicted emerging from water in the upper background, with ripple lines suggesting a water surface. The series legend PACIFIC WILDLIFE curves along the upper rim, the date 2007 appears to the right in the field, and the scientific name CROCODYLUS POROSUS is inscribed along the lower rim. A stylized designer's monogram appears at the lower left of the field. |

Palau began issuing small-format .999 gold pieces in the mid-2000s as part of a broader Pacific island strategy of generating revenue through numismatic programs — the republic has no domestic gold mining and a GDP that makes these collector editions a meaningful fiscal instrument. The saltwater crocodile series drew on Palau's genuine ecological significance: the archipelago's marine lake and estuarine systems support one of the Pacific's healthiest remaining populations of Crocodylus porosus.
At 1.24 g, this sits in the fractional gold category popularized by the New Zealand Mint's facility in Valcambi, which struck the majority of Palau's early gold output.
