| Obverse description | A wreath-crowned mermaid figure stands upright at centre, her fish-tail visible below the waist, holding an upright trident in her right hand while driving a quadriga of four horses surging forward through breaking waves. The dynamic composition occupies the full field, with the horses rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU curves along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the denomination mark 1$ appears in the lower field beneath the quadriga. |

| Reverse description | A vibrant multicolour underwater ocean scene fills the field, depicting tropical fish, a dolphin, and coral formations rendered in polychrome enamel application against the mirrored proof surface. The emblem of the United Nations — a world map projected within laurel branches — is prominently placed at the lower centre of the design. The legend curves around the periphery in two arcs, commemorating Palau's membership in the United Nations and the organisation's 50th anniversary, with the date 1995 at the base. |
