5 Dollars Mount Kenya

Palau has issued silver pieces referencing UNESCO World Heritage Sites and global natural landmarks since the late 1990s, a program driven less by domestic monetary need — the island nation uses the US dollar in daily commerce — than by the collector market for thematic silver. Mount Kenya, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, appears in this series as part of that broader licensing strategy rather than any bilateral relationship between Palau and Kenya.
