| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed high-relief depiction of Hidden Peak (Gasherbrum I), rising dramatically to fill the coin's field, its snow-covered summit and glaciated ridges rendered with exceptional sculptural depth. The series legend MOUNTAINS & FLORA curves along the upper rim. In the lower left field, the inscriptions HIDDEN PEAK and 8080 m identify the mountain, while the date 2015 appears on a scroll-form banner in the lower exergue. An applied colorized floral element, depicting a purple alpine blossom, is affixed to the lower right field, providing a vivid chromatic accent to the otherwise monochrome silver composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hidden Peak — more properly K2 — sits on the China-Pakistan border and was first summited in 1954 by an Italian expedition led by Ardito Desio, a full year after Everest. It remains statistically more lethal per summit attempt than any other eight-thousander, a fact that gives this Palauan commemorative its only real claim on serious attention. Palau has issued hundreds of thematic silver coins through licensing arrangements, with the actual minting typically contracted to European facilities — the islands themselves have no mint.
