Poker has a long, interesting history, with influences from various card games across the world.

The obverse of the 2024 1 oz Antique Palau Silver Poker Card Guard Coin shows the Palauan coat of arms. It features a Merman king holding a trident, a Mermaid beside him, and an open treasure chest. A Polynesian outrigger canoe is shown above the shield, adding to the island’s cultural symbols.

On the reverse side of the 2024 Antique Palau Silver Poker Card Guard Coins, there’s a striking image of a poker scene. A skeleton wearing a suit and top hat is seated at the table, holding a royal flush, while a woman stands next to him. The poker hand shows the 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of Spades.

Modern poker began to evolve in the United States in the early 19th century, with riverboats and gambling houses playing a key role in its rise in popularity. With the introduction of the 52-card deck in the 1830s, poker developed into the complex game we know today.

These 2024 1 oz Antique Palau Silver Poker Card Guard Coins come in a special presentation box. The coin’s antique finish gives it a unique, aged look, and selective gilding on the reverse enhances the design, with alternating sections mimicking the appearance of a poker chip.
