| Obverse description | Central field depicts a seated mermaid figure facing forward, her fish-scaled lower body curving gracefully toward the base of the coin; she holds a staff or spear in her left hand and is adorned with a floral wreath in her flowing hair. Two large ornate decorated shields flank her on either side, and stylized coral or seaweed elements occupy the lower left field. The denomination '1 $' appears to the right in the field, while the encircling legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU 1993' runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a vivid full-color applied scene depicting a panoramic ocean environment divided at the waterline: above, a tropical island coastline is rendered beneath a dramatic sunset sky with celestial bodies; below the waterline, a richly detailed underwater tableau shows a sea turtle, sharks, tropical fish, and diverse coral reef flora in deep blue and warm tones. The legend 'MARINE-LIFE PROTECTION' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the engraver's signature 'R.L. NELSON' appears in a cartouche at the base of the central scene. |
