| Reverse description | A full-color applied image dominates the central field, depicting Saint Andrew (Sanctus Andreas) as a bearded apostle rendered in the style of a Byzantine icon, with a golden halo framing his head. The portrait is set against a warm ochre background characteristic of medieval religious iconography. The legend SANCTUS ANDREAS arcs along the upper periphery in red lettering, while XII APOSTOLI is inscribed along the left border and the date 2009 appears at the lower right. A beaded inner border frames the colored roundel. |

| Additional information |
Palau's dollar-denomination collector issues of this period were produced under licensing arrangements with foreign minting houses — the coins are legal tender in name but were never intended for circulation on the island, where the U.S. dollar serves as the actual currency. Saint Andrew's inclusion reflects the broader ecclesiastical series Palau issued throughout the 2000s, targeting the European devotional collector market rather than any domestic religious or cultural connection.
