| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau's legal tender collector coin program, running since the late 1990s, became one of the most commercially aggressive insert-coin operations in the modern numismatic market. This particular issue embeds an actual freshwater pearl into the coin's fabric — a technique requiring individual hand-setting during the minting process, which means no two examples are strictly identical in the pearl's surface character.
Freshwater pearls of this size originate almost exclusively from Chinese mollusk farming operations, a detail quietly at odds with Palau's Pacific island branding.
