| Additional information |
Palau's commemorative program has long operated as a revenue vehicle targeting the collector market rather than any domestic monetary need — the islands have used the US dollar as their official currency since independence, making indigenous coinage entirely ceremonial. The Golden Gate Bridge series belongs to a wave of Pacific island issues from the early 2010s produced under contract by European mints for international distribution, with Palau lending its sovereign authority to designs it had no particular historical connection to.
KM#671 was struck by the Coin Invest Trust facility in Liechtenstein, which handled a substantial portion of Palau's output during this period.
