Silver Kilo 2020 Tiffany Art - Isfahan, Coin from Palau
CoinSilver Kilo 2020 Tiffany Art - Isfahan

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. Some of them are in the very large one kilogram (1kg) of silver format.

This coin is part of the Tiffany Art series by CIT Coin Invest, and is dedicated to Isfahan.

The mint says about it:
CIT is proud to introduce the 7th Kilo Edition of the silver Tiffany Art coin. This magnificent piece highlights the architectural wonder of Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, Iran, also known as Imam Square. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the largest city centre squares in the world and a treasure of Persian architecture and art.

The highly detailed relief honours the architecture of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque that is located on the east side of the city square. With its magnificent arches and tile work, it amazes all visitors. The artful Tiffany style glass is beautifully integrated in this design. The huge diameter of 100 mm really showcases every detail.

Obverse
Palau / Silver Kilo 2020 Tiffany Art - Isfahan - obverse photo

The obverse of the coin features the unofficial "Emblem of Palau" used on much of the country's coinage. It has an ornate shield at centre, on which is depicted the sea god Neptune, crowned and seated on a round stone and holding a trident in his left hand; on the right, a mermaid; on the left, a treasure chest. The ground is a beach, featuring waves and a starfish. Above Neptune, a star. Below the waves, the inscription RAINBOW'S END. Above the shield is a native rowing in a single-outrigger canoe.

Around above, the name of the country: REPUBLIC OF PALAU. Below right, the face value 50 Dollars.

The emblem and inscription are small and are in the lower part of the obverse.

The rest of the design depicts a view of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque in Isfahan, Iran, with a blue glass insert for a gate.
