| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, fully colored depiction of a standing ox rendered in naturalistic dark tones, shown in a three-quarter forward-facing stance upon a patch of green grass at the center of the field. To the left of the ox, the Chinese character 牛 (ox) is engraved in the field. The legend YEAR OF THE OX curves along the upper rim in a stylized serif Latin font against a darkened background. The date 2021 appears in the lower field. The entire design is framed by an ornate border of circular and geometric motifs evoking traditional Chinese decorative patterns. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued bullion and commemorative silver dollars continuously since 1992 under a licensing arrangement that has made the republic one of the most prolific small-nation coin issuers in the Pacific — a program driven almost entirely by export to collector markets rather than any domestic monetary need. The Lunar series fits squarely within that commercial framework.
KM#895.2 distinguishes this piece from the .925 variant struck in the same program year, the composition difference being the primary catalogued distinction between the two types.
