Comment
The Palau commemorative series “Marine Life Protection” is one of the longest running color coin series in the world. With the first coin issued in 1992 (“Year Of Marine Life Protection”) the series has seen many releases to date featuring tropical marine creatures and exotic mermaid and neptune designs that changed each year.Interesting fact
The Sperm Whale coin from Palau is a unique and interesting coin due to its shape. Instead of being a traditional round or rectangular shape, this coin is shaped like a sperm whale, with the design of the whale's body and tail on one side and the denomination and year on the other. This distinctive shape makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its collectibility.
