| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the national arms of the Republic of Palau in incuse relief, centrally positioned within the unicorn-shaped flan. The arms are surrounded by the circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' and the denomination '1$', all rendered in a matte finish against the plain gold field. The coin's silhouette itself forms the outline of a prancing unicorn, with the planchet shaped to follow the contours of the mythical creature's body, mane, horn, and tail. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific bullion and collector coin program since the 1990s, licensing its monetary authority to foreign minting operators — primarily in Europe — to produce small-denomination legal tender pieces aimed squarely at the novelty gift market. This "Sweetest Unicorn" issue is one of hundreds of such micro-gold pieces bearing Palauan authority with no meaningful connection to the island nation itself. At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, the intrinsic metal content is the primary driver of any value here.
