| Reverse description | An intricately engraved aerial panoramic view of central London occupies the entire field, depicted from a bird's-eye perspective with exceptional topographic detail. Prominent landmarks rendered in high relief include Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Westminster with the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), the British Museum, the Tower of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain at Piccadilly Circus. The legend METROPOLIS appears in the field, with the maker's mark Tiffany Art and the date 2023 also inscribed. The composition is executed in the distinctive Tiffany Art style pioneered by CIT, combining deeply struck relief engraving with selective color application. |

| Additional information |
Palau's large-format silver issues are produced under a longstanding arrangement with foreign mints and private distributors — the Republic itself has no domestic mint facility. This 1-kilogram piece belongs to a collector bullion segment that expanded sharply after 2010, when demand for oversized silver rounds from Pacific island nations surged among European and Asian buyers drawn to the legal-tender framing on otherwise purely numismatic objects.
The KM#1000 reference number suggests late catalog assignment, likely reflecting how recently Palau's coinage program was systematically documented in Krause.
