This extraordinary 3 Oz Silver coin is the first issue from the new “Micropuzzle Treasures” series of Palau, dedicated to micropuzzle Art and to Van Gogh’s masterpiece – Starry Night.

The reverse of the coin reproduces the beautifully colored painting of “Starry Night” by Van Gogh, struck with more than 238 pieces in exceptional high relief, to reproduce and empathize with the extraordinary beauty of this piece of mosaic art in miniature. On the bottom-right of the reverse, the year of issue: “2019”.

The obverse of the coin features the Coat of Arms of Palau, surrounded by a beautiful decorative micropuzzle pattern. All around the obverse, the inscriptions: “MICROPUZZLE TREASURES” – the name of the series, “REPUBLIC OF PALAU” – the issuing country and “20$” – the face value. Each coin is individually numbered on the edge.
