| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of the Republic of Palau centrally positioned within the rectangular field, depicting a traditional shield supported by a figure holding a spear and a paddle, rendered in gold-plated relief. The arc legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU curves above the arms along the upper border, with the inscription RAINBOW'S END appearing on a scroll at the base of the shield. The denomination 1$ is struck below the coat of arms in the lower central field, with the date 2020 immediately beneath. Six decorative stars flank the coat of arms on either side, and the overall design is executed in a uniform gold-plated finish without applied color. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific commemorative coin program since the mid-1990s, issuing hundreds of collector pieces with no meaningful domestic circulation — the republic's actual monetary needs are met by the US dollar. This piece belongs to that output: a souvenir instrument with a face value that bears no relationship to its production cost or collector price.
