Palau has issued commemorative silver rounds under its coinage authority since the 1990s, leveraging a 1994 agreement that allows the island nation — population under 20,000 — to produce legal tender coins with no expectation of domestic circulation. The Vikings series fits squarely into that model: collector product issued under Pacific sovereignty, sold directly into the European and North American bullion markets.
KM#903 is the catalog reference assigned by Krause, though secondary market listings frequently mislabel pieces within this series due to the number of thematically similar Palauan issues released in close succession around the same period.
