| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau, depicting a detailed heraldic shield with a seated Neptune figure holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid, set against a starry sky with a crescent moon, and surmounted by a traditional Palauan outrigger canoe. The shield is flanked by ornate floral scrollwork and encircled by eight five-pointed stars. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, with the inscription RAINBOW'S END appearing on the base of the shield, and the denomination 1$ in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a genuine preserved four-leaf clover encapsulated within a transparent amber-tinted resin insert set into the center of the coin, lending the piece a naturalistic three-dimensional quality. The border is engraved with an intricate floral and foliate vine motif, incorporating a small ladybug and various blossoms in low relief. The legend GOLD LUCK arcs along the upper border, while the date 2022 appears in the lower border, both rendered in raised Latin letters against the decorative surround. |

| Additional information |
Palau's legal tender framework, established through a 1992 compact with the United States, allows the island nation to issue commemorative coinage despite using the U.S. dollar as its official currency — a quirk that has made it one of the most prolific small-nation mint programs in the modern market. The four-leaf clover series sits firmly in the bullion gift segment, produced for the European novelty coin market rather than any domestic monetary purpose.
At one gram of .9999 fine gold, the actual metal value tracks fractional bullion pricing closely. KM#933 is one of several near-identical luck-themed issues Palau released in this format across consecutive years.
