'Palladium coins' are a form of coinage made out of the rare silver-white transition metal palladium. Palladium is internationally recognised as a form of currency under ISO 4217. Tonga commenced issuing palladium coins in 1967, which included the Tonga Palladium Hau. Since then a number of countries have issued palladium coins, including Canada, the Soviet Union, France, Russia, China, Australia and Slovakia. Most of these have been special commemorative coins.
The former USSR and now Russian Federation minted the most palladium coins in the world. Some other popular palladium coins minted by other countries are listed below.
