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 standard bullion sizes, including the internationally popular one troy ounce of silver.
This coin is the first release in the ColorEYEzed series by CIT Coin Invest, and features the colour Ocean Blue .
The mint says about it: The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the pupil size and the amount of light that enters into the eye. It is the most visible part of it. Normal eye colors range from the darkest shades of brown to the lightest tints of blue. Approximately only 8% to 10% of the global population have blue eyes. And everybody knows a person you are jealous of because of his/her magic eyes. The inheritance patterns of iris color is a heavily studied area. Eye color is controlled by three basic genes. Researchers understand two of those genes really well and one of them is still a bit of a mystery. These genes control the development of green, brown and blue eye color. Gray, hazel, and other combinations are more difficult to predict. In some families, eye color inheritance follows very predictable patterns whereas, in other families, it doesn't seem to make sense or follow any rules.
