| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Palau in high relief against an antiqued silver field, depicting a crowned Neptune seated centrally and holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid figure to his right and a treasure chest to his left, all within a decorative shield surmounted by a canoe with paddler. Eight stars flank the shield along the inner border. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, the motto RAINBOW'S END appears at the base of the shield, and the denomination 10 $ is inscribed in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic ultra-high relief rendering of the iconic Man in the Moon face from Georges Melies' 1902 film 'A Trip to the Moon', with the lunar surface rendered in rich sculptural detail showing craters and a textured terrain across the entire field. A red-colored cylindrical rocket capsule, finished in vivid applied color with a white spiral detail at its nose, is depicted embedded in the upper-left eye socket of the anthropomorphic moon face, faithfully recreating the celebrated cinematic image. The year of issue 2022 appears on the obverse side. |
