| Obverse description | The obverse features the Republic of Palau's coat of arms centrally positioned within the field, depicting a traditional Palauan scene with a warrior and a mermaid-like figure flanking a war canoe, surmounted by a full moon and a star. A traditional outrigger canoe appears above the shield. Eight small five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc around the shield on either side. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, while the inscription RAINBOWS END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 1$ is struck at the bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
Palau's dollar series issued under license through foreign mints — predominantly in Poland and the Czech Republic — flooded the novelty collector market throughout the 2000s. These pieces carry no practical monetary role; Palau uses the US dollar in daily commerce, making its own coinage purely a revenue-generating instrument aimed at thematic collectors.
KM#286 is one of dozens of marine-life issues from this period, produced in quantities calibrated to collector demand rather than any fiscal or governmental necessity.
