| Additional information |
Palau has operated one of the most prolific commemorative coin programs in the Pacific, licensing cultural and architectural subjects far removed from any genuine national connection. Canterbury Cathedral's inclusion in this series reflects a commercial arrangement rather than historical ties — the coins are produced for the collector market and virtually never circulate on the island.
The cathedral itself was begun in 1070 under Lanfranc, the first Norman Archbishop of Canterbury, on the ruins of an Anglo-Saxon structure destroyed by fire.
