| Additional information |
Palau's high-denomination silver issues in this weight class are produced under the country's longstanding licensing arrangement with foreign minting houses — Palau itself has no mint and a population under 20,000, making it one of the more transparent examples of a sovereign jurisdiction monetizing its issuing authority purely for the collector market. The Isfahan piece belongs to a series honoring UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a commercially reliable theme that has sustained Pacific island mintage programs for decades.
Isfahan's Naqsh-e Jahan Square was inscribed by UNESCO in 1979.
