| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a highly detailed, antique-finished depiction of a large sea shell — a turbinella-type conch — occupying the central field, its exterior rendered with intricate sculptural texturing. The inner lip of the shell displays vivid iridescent colour treatment in pink and violet hues, evoking a mother-of-pearl effect. A genuine inset pearl of deep rose colour is affixed to the lower portion of the shell's interior, serving as a three-dimensional decorative element. The legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper border above a dotted inner border, while the inscription BEAUTY OF THE SEA is incused in the lower field, and the date 2014 appears at the base. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau has issued an extraordinary volume of collector-focused silver pieces since gaining independence in 1994, leveraging its status as a sovereign nation to license colorized and shaped coin programs through the Austrian Mint and other European producers. The "Beauty of the Sea" series falls squarely within this commercial framework — coins designed explicitly for the numismatic market, never intended to circulate in a country whose de facto currency is the US dollar.
KM#473 is one of dozens of Palauan issues attributed to that year alone, most produced under contract rather than by any domestic minting facility.
