Gold Half Gram (2023) Beer Mug, Coin from Palau - detailed information

The Republic of Palau is an island country in the western Pacific, in free association with the United States. In one way or another, the country has been under US administration since it was established, and has never had its own separate currency - it has always used the US Dollar. However, Palau allows some foreign mints to issue coins under its authority; these are denominated in US Dollars but are only legal tender in Palau, so can in a way be considered to be in "Palau Dollars", even though such a currency does not officially exist.

The coins are usually dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in the internationally popular half gram (0.5g) of gold collector format.

The Beer Mug coin is part of the large Golden Highlights series of specially shaped gold mini-coins by CIT Coin Invest.

The mint says about it:
Mankind discovered its affection for fermented barley juice more than ten thousand years ago. Over the centuries, beer has experienced many changes in our relationship with it, from complete prohibition to its use as a means of payment. One thing we can all agree on though, a fine beer after a strenuous hike, after mowing the lawn, at a barbecue with friends or even after junior’s noisy birthday party is well worth enjoying.
