| Reverse description | Polychrome icon-style portrait of Saint Simon the Apostle, rendered in the Byzantine artistic tradition with a golden nimbus surrounding the bearded elder's bust, depicted facing the viewer in a frontal pose with robes in muted red and ochre tones. The multicolor image fills the central field of the coin, framed by a beaded inner border. The Latin legend XII APOSTOLI arcs along the left periphery, while SANCTUS SIMON appears in red lettering across the upper field, and the date 2009 is inscribed along the lower right border. |

| Additional information |
Palau's dollar-denomination issues from this period were produced almost entirely for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation. The "Saint Simon" piece belongs to a broader series of religious-themed commemoratives that Palau licensed through European minting intermediaries — the island nation itself having no domestic mint and a population of roughly 20,000.
