| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Papua New Guinea occupies the central field, featuring a Raggiana Bird of Paradise displayed with wings spread atop a traditional kundu drum and a spear crossed beneath, all rendered in fine detail against a polished proof field. The national name legend PAPUA NEW GUINEA arcs across the upper periphery in bold raised lettering, while the date 2014 appears in the lower exergue. The overall design is executed in high-relief proof finish with deeply mirrored fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Papua New Guinea's pearl industry, centered on the Pinctada maxima oyster harvested in the Arafura and Coral Seas, became a significant export commodity in the latter half of the 20th century, drawing Japanese, Australian, and local commercial operations into often-contested waters. This coin was issued as part of a broader wave of Pacific-region numismatic releases pairing oversized silver flans with embedded natural pearls — a format that sells well to thematic collectors but rarely circulates and was never intended to.
The Bank of Papua New Guinea contracted production externally; the coin was not struck at a domestic facility.
