| Reverse description | An aerial bird's-eye view of central Rome rendered in finely detailed high relief, depicting the urban landscape with prominent landmarks including the Colosseum, the Vatican complex, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain set within a densely mapped cityscape. The composition conveys the historic urban fabric of the Eternal City through an architectural panorama stretching across the full coin field. The legend METROPOLIS appears in the upper portion of the field, flanked by the series name TIFFANY ART and the date 2022. The reverse is partially coloured to enhance the cartographic detail of the city plan. The overall design is characteristic of the Tiffany Art Metropolis series produced by CIT for the Republic of Palau. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific commemorative coin program since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign minting rights to European distributors — primarily Austrian and German firms — who design, produce, and market the pieces with minimal involvement from Nuku'alofa. The "Rome" issue belongs to a broader architectural series targeting the collector gift market rather than any numismatic tradition rooted in Palauan history or culture.
KM#953 was struck at a private European facility under license.
