| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly detailed engraving of the interior of a historic Iranian mosque in Isfahan, rendered in extraordinary relief, depicting a receding series of pointed Islamic arches adorned with intricate arabesque and muqarnas tilework covering the walls and ceiling. At the center of the composition, a doorway framing an inlaid blue art-glass insert simulates the luminous effect of light filtering through the portal. In the lower left field, the shield-shaped coat of arms of the Republic of Palau is depicted, accompanied by the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU and RAINBOWS END above and below the arms respectively. The denomination 20 Dollars appears in script lettering along the lower rim. |

Additional arched panels and ornamental friezes extend across the flanking walls. The legend Isfahan appears in stylized script in the upper left field, with the signature Tiffany Art 2020 inscribed along the lower right in italics. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau's legal tender licensing agreements with private mints have produced hundreds of numismatic issues bearing the republic's name while having no connection to Palauan monetary history — this is one of them. The Isfahan piece belongs to a collector series commemorating Islamic architectural sites, issued under the kind of sovereign licensing arrangement that allows a Pacific microstate to lend its imprimatur to European-minted bullion art coins.
KM#873 is a catalog reference for tracking purposes; the coin's commercial origin lies almost certainly with a European private mint operating under contract.
