Obverse

The seal includes a merman and mermaid resting on a rock with an open treasure chest nearby. Above the shield is a Palauan figure in an outrigger canoe. Inscriptions include Republic of Palau, 25$, and 2018. Each coin has an individual serial number inscribed on this side as 000/555.
History
The Republic of Palau is an island nation located in the Pacific Ocean to the north of Australia. It shares maritime borders with Micronesia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Roughly 3,000 years ago, maritime cultures from Southeast Asia migrated to the islands that make up modern Palau. The Spanish Empire integrated the islands into its territories in 1574, sold the islands to Imperial Germany following its loss to the US in the Spanish-American War, and were then ceded to Japan following World War I. In the aftermath of World War II, the United States controlled the area. Today, Palau exists in free association with the US and relies on the country for defense, funding, and social services.
