Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Dollar (Fish and Coral - Platinum Essai) 1994 from Palau is that it has a unique feature - a hidden message. The coin's designer, Ian Rank-Broadley, engraved the phrase "PLATINUM ESSAI" in tiny letters at the bottom of the coin's reverse side. This message is only visible under magnification, making it a distinctive and rare feature for a coin.
