Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a map of German East Africa on one side and the Palau coat of arms on the other. This design highlights the historical connection between Germany and Palau, as German East Africa was a former German colony that was later mandated to Australia and eventually became part of Palau. This coin serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
