This coin is part of the "Mountains and Flora" series of over 60 coins released between 2009 and 2016. Throughout the series, which showcases the world’s most famous mountains, the successful initial design has been treated very conservatively - a mountain range in detailed relief in the background supplemented by a coloured native plant in the right-hand foreground. Not even the series name or placement of the issuing year have changed, making coins of this series highly recognisable and the entire set a beautiful homogeneous collection.
Several mini-series such as the "7 Summits" and the "Second 7 Summits", as well as several anniversary issues present popular approaches for collectors to get started with the Mountains and Flora series.
The series concluded in 2016 with the release of Mount Cook and Jungfrau. It is the most comprehensive coin collection of the world’s highest mountains ever minted.

The 8051 meter high Broad Peak is located on the border of Pakistan and China. In the absence of an indigenous name, the English researcher William Martin Conway simply named the mountain in Karakoram according its shape. more CIT Item ID: 27014 Country: Palau Date of issue: 2014 Denomination: 5 Dollars Material: Silver .925 Quality: Proof Mintage: 2500 |
