| Additional information |
Palau's collector coin program has issued hundreds of themed pieces through external mints — primarily the Coin Invest Trust (CIT) facility in Liechtenstein — under licensing arrangements that make Palau one of the most prolific small-nation issuers in the modern commemorative market. The "Dark Checkmate" belongs to a chess-themed series capitalizing on the surge in global chess interest following the 2020 release of The Queen's Gambit.
Mintages for CIT-produced Palauan issues are typically capped in the low hundreds.
