20 Dollars Kiss

Palau has operated one of the Pacific's most prolific modern commemorative programs since the 1990s, issuing themed silver pieces almost exclusively for the collector market through contracted minting arrangements — this coin never circulated on the island, and very few ever reach Palauan hands at all. The "Kiss" series sits within a broader wave of romantic-themed issues that European mints have produced on behalf of small Pacific jurisdictions since roughly 2010, trading on legal tender status while targeting German and Eastern European collector demographics almost exclusively.
