| Beschrijving keerzijde | A richly detailed antiqued relief portrays a bustling market street scene in the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre, rendered in high sculptural relief. A grand colonnaded avenue recedes toward a monumental arched gateway with flanking towers in the upper field, beneath a moonlit nocturnal sky with dramatic clouds. Numerous robed merchant figures animate the foreground: traders converse, a horse-drawn cart traverses the paved street, and craftsmen work beside large vats. Bolts of vivid Tyrian purple fabric and coloured textiles — a hallmark of Phoenician commerce — are applied in polychrome colour, adding striking contrast to the antiqued silver field. The overall composition evokes the celebrated mercantile prosperity of ancient Phoenicia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau has operated as a prolific licensing issuer for decades, contracting European mints — primarily in Poland and Germany — to produce large-format collector pieces with no connection to Palauan monetary history. This 155.5g piece is part of that commercial program, manufactured for the international bullion-collector market rather than any domestic circulation purpose.
Phoenicia and Carthage are a predictable pairing for this format: enough scholarly cachet to justify the premium, broad enough as a subject that sourcing specific historical claims becomes the buyer's problem.
