The 0.5g gold coin with the motif of a basketball is a rare and limited edition of only 15,000 copies. The front of the coin is decorated with the typical stripes of a basketball, giving it a unique look.

Basketball is a popular ball sport invented by James Naismith. Basketball was originally played with an ordinary soccer ball before today's orange ball was introduced in the 1950s to be more visible to the public. The playing time was initially relatively short, with two halves lasting just 15 minutes and a five-minute break in between.

The reverse of the gold coin shows the sea god Neptune holding a trident in his hand and touching a treasure chest full of gold coins. Below this motif is Palau's motto: "Rainbow's End," which is why Palau is also referred to as the paradise at the end of the rainbow.

This 0.5g gold coin is made by B.H. Mayer, has a face value of 1 dollar and was minted in 2022. It weighs 0.50 grams and has a diameter of 13.92 mm. This coin is well suited as an investment due to its limited mintage and high gold fineness of 999.9/1000.
