| Reverse description | Central design depicts the Nagasaki Peace Park statue, a monumental bronze sculpture of a seated male figure with one arm raised skyward and the other extended horizontally, symbolizing the threat of nuclear war and the prayer for peace. The statue is shown against a colored background of radiating sunbeams and flying doves, with colored green foliage visible at the base. The curved legend CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF PEACE arcs along the lower border, with the date 2015 inscribed to the right of the statue and the fineness mark .999 to the far right. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver pieces under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, with designs and distribution handled largely by overseas minting houses rather than any domestic monetary authority — the island nation has no mint of its own. This piece, marking the 70th anniversary of the war's end, falls squarely in that tradition of contract-struck issues aimed at the collector market rather than circulation.
