Four rounded leaves and a short stem transform this silver coin into a sculptural emblem of good fortune. The four-leaf clover is the coin’s actual three-dimensional shape, not simply a motif engraved on a round coin. Fine curling patterns sweep across its gold-plated surface, following the contours of each leaf. The silk finish gives the 2020 Palau Gilded Fortune its distinctive presentation, while the opposite side carries Palau’s coat of arms, the five-dollar denomination and the date.

Produced using smartminting technology, this 1 oz .999 silver issue combines an unusual silhouette with a worldwide mintage of 777. PCGS certification at MS70 adds a clearly defined numerical condition grade to the design, and the original presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity accompany the holder. For a gift with lasting numismatic character, add this gilded four-leaf clover to a collection at FORTYMILLION.

Specifications

The supplied population figures describe PCGS grading records for the relevant coin-number and designation category, not the original mintage or the number of surviving coins. Zero graded higher is consistent with MS70 being the highest numerical grade; it does not mean this is a unique coin.

The Sheldon Grading Scale

The Sheldon Grading Scale is a 70-point numerical system used by grading services such as PCGS and NGC to assess coin condition. Originally developed by Dr William Sheldon for early United States large cents, it was later adapted for wider numismatic use. Not every integer is assigned a grade. The following summaries are adapted from PCGS standards; the offered coin’s MS70 grade is highlighted.

MS means Mint State, describing condition without circulation wear. Grade 70 is the highest grade under the service’s standards, not an unlimited claim of absolute perfection. PR (PCGS) or PF denotes Proof, a method of manufacture, not automatic perfection. A silk finish, gold plating and a numerical grade describe different aspects of a coin. Read the PCGS grading standards (opens in a new tab).

Q. Is Gilded Fortune a solid gold coin?
A. No. It is a .999 silver coin with gold plating. Gilt and gilded refer to the gold coating, not a solid gold composition.

Q. What does PCGS MS70 mean?
A. MS70 is PCGS’s highest numerical Mint State grade. It is a condition assessment under PCGS standards, not a guarantee of investment performance or absolute perfection under every examination.

Q. Will the certification number match the photographs?
A. Not necessarily. The photographs show different certification numbers, and the listing’s notice states that the supplied PCGS number may differ. The separate certification reference provided is 40220523.

Q. What is included?
A. The PCGS-graded coin, original presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.

Q. Does population 161 mean only 161 coins were made?
A. No. The worldwide issue mintage is 777. The supplied population of 161 at MS70 refers to PCGS records for the relevant category as at 28 October 2026.

Q. Is silk finish the same as Proof?
A. No. Silk finish is the finish stated on the certificate; it does not by itself establish a Proof strike. This listing’s certified grade is MS70.
