| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau has issued commemorative silver under its own authority since 1994, leveraging a 1994 Compact of Free Association arrangement that permits the island nation to produce legal tender without maintaining a central bank. The Venus de Milo series places the coin within a broader wave of Pacific micro-state issues aimed squarely at the European collector market, where classical antiquity themes sell reliably.
The original sculpture, housed in the Louvre since 1821, was discovered on Milos in 1820 — its missing arms already absent when excavated, a fact that generated academic dispute for decades.
