Product Overview
Marvel at a piece of ancient history with this $5 Temple of Artemis sterling silver coin. Weighing just under an ounce of sterling silver and issued by Palau in 2009, the coin presents an exceptional view of one of the great wonders of the ancient world set against a full-colour sunset.

The temple's different construction phases stretched across several centuries, starting in the eighth century BCE to around 350 BCE.
