The 0.5g gold coin with the motif of a basketball is a rare and limited edition of only 15,000 pieces. 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 a regular soccer ball before the current orange ball was introduced in the 1950s to make it more visible to the crowd. Playing time was initially relatively short, with two halves of just 15 minutes and a five-minute break in between.

The reverse of the gold coin shows the sea god Neptune holding a trident 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 known as the paradise at the end of the rainbow.

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