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 second release in the ColorEYEzed series by CIT Coin Invest, and features the colour Hazel Brown .
The mint says about it: We dive anew into the captivating colour of the human eye. Whereas brown and even blue eyes are relatively common, hazel is of rarity. Not confined to a single hue and sparkling in a vibrant and beautiful palette of colours from green to blue to dark brown, hazel eyes show up in roughly only 10% of the world’s population. |
