| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Palau occupies the central field, depicting a traditional outrigger canoe above a shield charged with a sea deity bearing a trident and a mermaid figure amid ocean waves, flanked by floral and marine ornaments. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, with five six-pointed stars distributed on either side. The inscription RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 1 $ is struck in the lower field below the arms. |

| Additional information |
Palau's wildlife-themed dollar series from this period was produced almost entirely for the collector market — none of these pieces saw meaningful circulation on the islands, where the U.S. dollar functions as the de facto currency and vending machines don't recognize foreign cupro-nickel slugs regardless of face value. KM#261 is one of several bird-subject issues from the same year, struck by a contract mint for a government that outsources virtually all its coinage production.
