| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief engraving of the Royal Australian Navy heavy cruiser HMAS Australia underway at sea, depicted in three-quarter starboard profile with masts, cranes, funnels, and superstructure rendered with great precision. Stylized waves fill the lower portion of the rhombus-shaped field, conveying a sense of movement. A small color-inset replica of the Australian White Ensign appears in the upper portion of the field above the vessel. The inscription HMAS AUSTRALIA is boldly lettered in two lines across the lower field, and the year of issue 2011 appears in small numerals along the bottom edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
HMAS Australia was a Royal Australian Navy cruiser with a complicated end: in 1924, following decommissioning, she was scuttled off Sydney Heads as a mark of respect — the only RAN vessel to receive such a ceremonial farewell. Palau has issued naval commemoratives steadily since the 1990s, often targeting the Australian and Pacific collector market with subjects that have no political connection to Palau itself.
KM#369 is part of a broader series. The two-ounce format was chosen to accommodate detailed relief work, though Palau's contracted minting at this period produced inconsistent surface quality across the run.
