| Reverse description | The reverse is fully covered with vibrant full-colour enamel artwork in the Glass Art technique, depicting a richly detailed underwater and above-water marine ecosystem scene. The upper portion shows a fiery orange and yellow sunset sky above a calm ocean surface, with an iceberg or snow-capped rocky formation at the horizon and a killer whale (orca) breaching or swimming near the surface. Below the waterline, the scene transitions into a vivid underwater tableau featuring a sea turtle amid swaying kelp and seagrass, colourful coral formations in the foreground, and several fish swimming among the vegetation. The entire composition is rendered in luminous, jewel-toned colours evoking stained glass, filling the oval flan edge to edge with no visible lettering. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated as a prolific novelty mint client since the 1990s, issuing collector silver under licensing arrangements that have little connection to domestic circulation. This piece belongs to that tradition — produced for the international collector market rather than any transactional use within Palau itself, whose official currency remains the U.S. dollar.
