| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, full-color applied image of the Darien stubfoot toad (Atelopus certus) dominates the central field, depicted in naturalistic profile facing left, resting on rocky terrain with moss and leaf litter rendered in color at the base. The toad's distinctive dark body with vivid purple reticulated patterning is faithfully reproduced. Bare branches extend across the upper field in relief. The series legend WORLD OF FROGS curves along the upper left rim, and the Latin binomial ATELOPUS CERTUS appears in smaller lettering diagonally across the upper field. The date 2011 is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau's wildlife coin program, running since the late 1990s, has produced dozens of species issues — most featuring Pacific fauna. The Darien Stubfoot Toad (Atelopus spurrelli) is a conspicuous outlier: a Colombian and Panamanian species with no geographic connection to Palau whatsoever. The republic's use of its sovereign minting rights to license exotic wildlife themes for the collector market is purely commercial, a practice it shares with several other small Pacific island nations whose coin programs are administered largely by European minting houses.
The species itself was last confirmed in the wild in the 1990s and is currently listed as critically endangered, possibly extinct.
