Obverse description The Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief within a shield-shaped cartouche depicting a traditional sailing canoe above and two figures — a male holding a trident and a female seated — amid marine imagery in the lower portion, with the motto RAINBOW'S END inscribed in the exergue of the shield. Eight six-pointed stars are arranged in an arc flanking the coat of arms. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU runs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 1$ appears at the base of the coin.

Reverse description A finely modeled facing bust of Saint Francis of Assisi is depicted in high relief at center, wearing the traditional Franciscan habit with cowl, his tonsured head rendered with careful detail. A polychrome enamel halo in deep green and teal tones surrounds the saint's effigy, lending a vivid iconographic quality to the composition. A white dove in flight appears to the left in the colored field, symbolizing the saint's association with nature and peace. The curved legend SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI is inscribed along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters.
