The Sea turtle in a stunning sculpture-like, shaped coin minted in 99.99% Pure Gold!

Whether it is children swimming in the ocean, snorkelers going out on a reef, or avid scuba divers exploring the underwater world, the sea turtle is a highlight that people remember.  In fact, many people who see them in their natural habitats talk about how awe inspiring the experience was for years. This shaped coin with a detailed design captures just a small portion of that experience and puts it in the holder’s hand. The entirety of the reverse design consists of the sea turtle, complete with its shell dominating the center and its head and feet sticking out in different directions. On the obverse is the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau, which consists of Poseidon sitting on the ocean floor between an open treasure chest and a mermaid.  Above, a man rows a canoe. Inscriptions on this face include “1$” and “REPUBLIC OF PALAU.”

  • Shaped Coin Complementing Turtle Design – A perfect match of two types of art.
  • Half Gram of 99.99% Fine Gold – A rare level of purity!
  • Thirteenth Issue in the Series – Shaped to replicate the turtles body.
  • One Dollar Legal Tender for the Island Nation of Palau – Struck in Germany’s Mayer Mint.
  • Limited Mintage – Mintage of this coin was limited to just 15,000 pieces!

The turtle’s simple beauty is something that people of all ages can appreciate. Upon seeing them in the zoo or elsewhere, many young children are so captivated that they want to get the reptile as a pet. Its stunning appearance and grace in the water are also appreciated by adults, especially those who have had the opportunity to see them in the wild. In fact, even those who spend a lot of time in the water, such as divers and snorkelers, never cease to be enthralled with this wonder of the natural world! Whether you consider yourself an animal lover or you are singularly fascinated with this remarkable creature, or you simply like having uniquely shaped coins in your collection, don’t miss your chance to own this low mintage treasure.

Customer Reviews

"Amazing service and hospitality from the staff at IDC! Jason was so attentive and patient in our search for our ideal watches. He took us through several options, had us try every watch we were interested in, took our information and continued searching for options. A few hours later, we had our watches on hold and ready for pick up! He located a watch that I LOVE, and a unique piece for my husband. We are grateful to have found our new Jeweler for many pieces to come!"
