| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of Palau, depicted as a shield bearing two figures — a traditionally dressed male and female — set against a field with a star and crescent moon, surmounted by a frigate bird in flight. The shield is flanked by decorative scrollwork and bordered by a wreath at its base. Eight five-pointed stars are arranged in a arc around the periphery of the coin. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim, with the subtitle RAINBOW'S END inscribed below the shield, and the denomination 1$ positioned at the base of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed neoclassical scene depicting the myth of Jason and the Golden Fleece. A helmeted warrior, identified as Jason, kneels to the left before a large ram, while a robed, bearded elder — likely King Aeetes — stands to the right gesturing toward the fleece. The composition fills the central field with fine relief modelling reminiscent of classical relief sculpture. A dotted inner border frames the design, with the curved legend THE GOLDEN FLEECE arcing along the upper rim and the date 2008 inscribed at the base between two groups of dots. |
