The color inset occupies nearly the entire inner field. The legend 'MARINE LIFE PROTECTION' arcs along the upper periphery in raised relief against a darkened field, within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Palau's marine-themed silver program, launched in the 1990s, was among the first Pacific island series to successfully exploit the collector market for colorized wildlife coinage. These issues are legal tender under Palauan law but were never intended for circulation — the republic's de facto currency is the US dollar. KM#114 was produced by the Austrian Mint under contract, a common arrangement for Pacific microstates with no domestic minting infrastructure.
