| Reverse description | The reverse presents back-to-back portrait busts of the Beast, to the left, and Beauty, to the right, both rendered in high relief against a darkened antiqued field. The Beast is depicted as a snarling, horned creature with flowing mane, wearing a blue coat with selective color application. Beauty is shown in profile weeping, her long hair swept back, wearing a yellow-toned gown with color detailing. Between the two figures, a glass bell jar containing a colored red rose with stem and leaves serves as the central focal point, with the engraver's initials CP beneath it. The series inscription FEAR TALES appears in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver rounds under its licensing agreements with major entertainment properties since the 1990s, exploiting its status as a sovereign issuer to produce legal-tender collector pieces with no expectation of circulation. The Disney licensing arrangement that covers this type is notably broad, allowing third-party minting houses — typically European — to produce these on Palau's behalf with only nominal involvement from the island nation itself.
KM#964 is a bullion-weight two-ounce piece aimed squarely at the themed collector market rather than numismatists proper.
