| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a vibrant full-color enamel depiction of a lionfish (Pterois sp.) in its natural coral reef habitat, rendered in rich blue, red, white, and yellow tones, with characteristic fan-like venomous spines prominently displayed amid colorful coral formations. The curved legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin letters. A beaded border frames the design, and the silhouette of a manta ray is visible in the upper field behind the color application. |

Palau's marine-themed coinage program began in 1992 and was produced largely for the collector market rather than domestic circulation — the island nation's actual currency in daily use is the US dollar. The lionfish issue sits within a long series of Pacific wildlife coins struck under license by foreign mints targeting the European and Asian novelty collector trade.
Lionfish became a subject of growing scientific alarm around this period, as invasive populations were documented spreading through Atlantic and Caribbean waters — a crisis traced to aquarium releases beginning in the 1980s.
