| Additional information |
Palau has issued fish-themed silver dollars since 1992 under a long-running Marine Life Protection series, making this one of dozens of similar pieces struck for the collector market rather than circulation. The program is produced under license and has no meaningful monetary use in Palau itself, a nation whose everyday currency is the U.S. dollar.
KM#113 is one of the more common entries in the series by secondary market volume.
