| Obverse description | Central field features a draped mermaid figure seated atop a large conch shell, her long flowing hair extending to the left, her right arm raised with fingers outstretched in an elegant gesture. The design is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2006 arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded inner border. The denomination 1$ is inscribed to the right of the central figure. |

| Additional information |
Palau's fish dollar series, launched in 1992, was designed primarily for the collector market rather than domestic circulation — the island nation's de facto currency has long been the US dollar. The mahi-mahi issue sits within a run of KM-numbered types that flooded the Pacific commemorative market in the mid-2000s, many distributed through European coin dealers with no meaningful connection to Palauan economic life.
