Just finished ordering my monthly dosage of silver and I came across a really interesting piece.
It had a stupid high price so I didn't buy it, but I thought it was odd enough to make a post about it.
I guess it's just the perfect coin if you are a vampire hunter ๐
I mean...it has silver...and it has holy water ๐
This is the coin I am talking about:
So, this is a commemorative coin minted in 2008 from a country I had never heard of before called Palau. Turns out it's a nation in the middle of nowhere comprised by about 340 islands with a population of less then 20 thousand. Meh, who cares
Anyways, back to the coin.
As you can see it comes with a vile that supposedly contains holy water:
The island of Palau issued a silver dollar coin in 2007, carrying the image of the Virgin Mary and a tiny vial containing holy water from the Grotto in Lourdes, France. That following year, the country issued a second series of coins to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Apparitions of the Virgin Mary at the Grotto source
When it comes to composition, it's made off silver plated copper-nickel, with a weight of 27 g.
As you may have noticed from the pics above, the coin has a denomination of 1 USD, as the country didn't have an official currency prior to its independence and still doesn't have one:
Palau was part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific, administered by the United States, following World War II. In 1978 Palau began the process of independence and gained it in 1994. The United States recognized Palau at the same time that the trusteeship ended. source
All in all, a really unique coin! But I am definitely don't pay the stupid high prices they are asking for it. Feel free to gift me one though if you like ๐๐

You know me, I'd rather have this big 2 toz silver coin.
2014 $10 Republic of Palau, The Vampire
Ha! That's a really cool one!
We lived in Guam for three years, and quite a few friends traveled to Palau for scuba diving. Palau is home to a lake filled with millions of jellyfish that you can swim with. Never made it there myself, but did go to Saipan where we saw the jail cell that held Amelia Earhart. I found a live round of ammo on a beach where the bones of US servicemen killed there in WWII still wash up on shore. Cool coin, BTW!
Do you still have that round of ammo?
Nope...my wife wouldn't let me take it home with me on the plane.
Thereโs a shoe from nike that had been customized by a third party and also had holy water on its air soles. Or was it water from the dead sea. Something like that cant remember for sure. It too commanded a very high premium. I think people would line up for this type of coins if only it wasnโt very expensive.
Lmao with the shoe. People will make and buy all kinds of shit ๐
nice one!
Yep, it's a really odd piece!
It looks real nice but I wonder what's the price of it? I hope someone gonna send ya gift with couple of these coins.
I found one for 70 $. Fuck that
That is hella blessed,๐คฃ !PIMP

This seems like the perfect match for a coin with Dracula representing Romania..if there would even be any ๐คฃ

Ha. That's cool, but I'd wait to buy it from the discount bin at my coin store. I do kinda dig it though.

That's a very unique coin.
Yeah, definitely one of the most odd ones out there!
I guess it's a cool idea but they could have at least made
it out of silver since they are charging like it's silver.
Yeah that's a bummer :(
I want that one, @trumpman, hehehe!
Stack on!
Me too but too expensive for my taste ๐
You can see that it is unique, you can pay something nice with it. I mean, me.
No ๐
It does sound like a unique coin and it does sound expensive. I don't think many of them were created.
25000 mintage
Odd piece indeed meant for just vampire hunters
^_^
You are paying for the holy waterโฆโฆwell maybe๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Holy water in a coin... a little overkill! But those things are going to go up in value just because they're so interesting!
silver plated ? that's for plebs :P
