| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a richly detailed Nativity scene in high relief, showing the Three Magi presenting gifts to the infant Jesus, who rests in the arms of the Virgin Mary at center right. The three kings are rendered in flowing robes, one kneeling in adoration in the foreground, while gifts and vessels are shown to the left. A camel and other animals appear in silhouette to the right. Above the scene, a gilt-colored shooting star with a radiant tail arcs across the upper field, a color-application highlight distinguishing it from the otherwise silver surface. The date 2014 is inscribed above the central group, and the legend THREE HOLY KINGS curves along the lower rim. |

Palau's "Three Holy Kings" issues belong to a long-running series the republic began in the late 1990s exploiting its status as a sovereign mint authority with no meaningful domestic currency demand — coins produced explicitly for the collector market, legal tender in name only. The Three Holy Kings subject draws on the Feast of Epiphany tradition, particularly strong in German-speaking and Spanish-speaking Catholic cultures, which constitute the primary buyer base for this type.
