One of the world’s rarest and most exquisite eye colors is now featured on a new coin from CIT! Struck in pure silver across a domed canvas, these coins feature a hazel iris in vivid colorized detail. Made in partnership with the Republic of Palau, this specimen is a perfect tribute to the hazel eye and its mesmerizing beauty. A mere 5% of the world’s population have hazel eyes. By comparison, it is estimated that over 70% of people have brown eyes. As such, when we encounter someone with this lighter brown hue, it can almost feel like we’re experiencing a work of art. Captivating and alluring, hazel eyes are the result of lower melanin levels in the iris; our surrounding environment, which includes clothing and light sources, can also affect the extent to which this stunning hue appears. The obverse of 2023 1 oz Proof Colorized Silver Hazel Brown Coins features the Palauan coat of arms. This emblem includes a mermaid and a merman with a trident in the heart of the sea. Above them, we see a canoe and the words “Republic of Palau.” The edge of the coin features rows of stars along with the coin’s denomination of $5. On the reverse of 2023 1 oz Proof Colorized Palau Silver Coins a hazel eye is featured. This colorized rendering includes a dark pupil surrounded by the hazel iris. Almost fire-like, this spectacular hue reminds us just how beautiful the human eye can be.. Item Specifications: Arrives in a presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity!
