| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau's marine-themed silver program, launched in 1992 with the Republic's first commemorative issues, became one of the more commercially successful Pacific Island coin series of its decade — sold almost entirely to collectors outside Palau, whose domestic economy runs on the US dollar. The Moorish Idol entry from 2001 belongs to a run that leaned heavily on the country's nominal proximity to the coral triangle as marketing justification, though Palau's reef ecosystem is genuinely among the most biodiverse on the planet.
KM#75 was struck at a reported mintage low enough to sustain secondary market premiums through the early 2000s collector bubble.
