| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features an allegorical group depicting a reclining Neptune (god of the sea), crowned with a spiked diadem, accompanied by a standing female figure rendered as a sea nymph, both posed against a rocky marine outcrop with stylized coral and seaweed elements. The composition is executed in high relief against a polished field. The curved legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2007' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination '1$' appears in the lower field. The overall design reflects the classical allegorical tradition frequently employed on Pacific island commemorative coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field is dominated by a full-color photographic-style depiction of a Blue Tang surgeonfish (Acanthurus coeruleus), rendered with vivid blue body coloration and a distinctive yellow-green lateral stripe curving from the pectoral region toward the caudal peduncle. The fish is shown in profile against a stylized underwater reef environment in shades of blue and aquamarine. The legend 'MARINE LIFE PROTECTION' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, emphasizing the conservation theme of the series. The coloring is applied over a milled copper-nickel flan, a technique characteristic of Palau's Marine Life Protection commemorative issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Palau's marine-themed collector series, launched in the 1990s, was among the first to apply color printing directly to circulating-format coinage — a technique that was technically crude in early runs but had matured considerably by 2007. The Blue Surgeon Fish issue belongs to a later wave of that program, produced for the international collector market rather than any domestic monetary purpose; Palau uses the US dollar in everyday commerce and has no practical need for its own coinage.
