| Reverse description | A large, highly sculptural forget-me-not flower (Myosotis) dominates the central field, rendered in vivid blue enamel coloring with five broad, overlapping petals exhibiting a pearlescent finish, surrounding a raised cluster of golden yellow stamens at the center. The textured background field is densely engraved with a pattern of smaller forget-me-not blossoms in relief, creating a rich botanical tapestry. The incuse legend 'FORGET-ME-NOT' curves along the lower rim, and the date '2023' appears discreetly near the upper edge of the field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver under its licensing agreements with foreign minting houses since the 1990s, and the forget-me-not series is among the more commercially driven of those programs — collectible by design, not by monetary necessity. The republic has no meaningful domestic coin circulation; these pieces exist entirely for the collector market, produced under authority delegated to private minting operations in Europe.
The forget-me-not itself carries heavy association with Freemasonry and with German remembrance culture, the latter formalized after World War I.
