| Obverse description | Within a raised beaded border, a reclining mermaid with flowing hair adorned with a floral wreath occupies the central field, her scaled tail curling to the left amid stylized ocean waves. A traditional Palauan sailing vessel is depicted in the upper left background, sailing on calm waters. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1992 inscribed vertically at the right. The denomination 1$ appears in the lower field below the central design. |

| Reverse description | The entire field is covered by an intricate engine-turned guilloche pattern composed of multiple overlapping concentric and diagonal grid motifs, creating a rich textile-like background. A plain rectangular cartouche in raised relief is centered horizontally across the middle of the field, bearing the two-line inscription ESSAI / 1 Oz .999, confirming the piece's status as a trial strike and specifying its weight and fineness. The rim features a reeded border, and the outermost edge is defined by a raised collar, lending the piece a distinctly bullion-standard appearance. |
