| Obverse description | A topless mermaid wearing a floral wreath crown is depicted seated upon an ornately carved throne, facing slightly right, holding a vertical paddle upright in her right hand. Her scaled fish tail curves prominently in the lower field, surrounded by stylized ocean waves. To the left, a cluster of traditional bamboo or wooden poles rises from the water. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper left periphery, with the date 1993 at the upper right and the denomination 1 $ at the lower right. The entire design is framed by a continuous beaded border. |

A horizontal polished rectangular cartouche is centered in the middle of the field, displaying the inscriptions ESSAI on the first line and 1 Oz .999 on the second line in Roman serif lettering. No other design elements are present beyond the guilloché field and the central cartouche. |
