| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau at centre, depicting a crowned Neptune holding a trident standing beside a mermaid amid waves, with a treasure chest to the left, all within an ornate shield surmounted by a traditional Palauan outrigger canoe. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper field, flanked by a row of eight five-pointed stars arranged in a semicircle. The series name RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 1$ is inscribed below the arms in the lower field. The design is struck on a rhombus-shaped planchet with a polished field. |

| Additional information |
Palau's licensing deals with Formula 1 produced dozens of collector pieces in the late 2000s and early 2010s, most struck in silver-plated copper rather than the fine silver the series occasionally used. This piece commemorates Räikkönen's 2007 championship — won at the Brazilian Grand Prix in Interlagos on the final lap of the final race, when Lewis Hamilton's McLaren suffered a gearbox failure that handed the title to Ferrari by a single point.
