| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Palau is depicted centrally within a shield, featuring a figure of a sea deity holding a trident flanked by a female figure, with a crescent moon and star above, and a traditional outrigger canoe at the crest. Eight five-pointed stars are arranged around the inner border of the field. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, with the motto RAINBOWS END inscribed below the shield. The face value 1$ appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued an extensive run of small-format .9999 gold pieces targeting the novelty bullion market, and the Four Leaf Clover sits squarely in that commercial program. The republic's authority to issue coinage derives from its Compact of Free Association with the United States, which governs defense and financial relations but leaves Palau free to license its name to third-party minting programs — in this case, almost certainly produced by a European mint under contract rather than struck domestically.
