| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the Egyptian afterlife realm of Duat and the Field of Reeds rendered in high relief across the right background, with the jackal-headed god Anubis prominently featured on the left, presiding over the weighing of the heart ceremony against the feather of Ma'at. The scene is executed in antiqued silver with vivid color-printed elements applied to the temple walls and divine figures, lending a rich polychrome contrast to the sculptural relief. Hieroglyphic motifs and deity figures adorn the temple facades in the colored sections, evoking the iconographic tradition of ancient Egyptian funerary art. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU, RAINBOW'S END, the denomination 10 $, and the date 2023 appear in the field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver rounds under its licensing agreements since the 1990s, using its sovereign mint authority to produce collector pieces with no domestic circulation function whatsoever. The island nation's GDP is roughly $300 million; its numismatic export program exists entirely for foreign collector markets, underwritten by European distribution firms that handle everything from design to fulfillment.
KM#982 places this squarely in a long sequence of Palauan thematic issues. The Egyptian series specifically has drawn from a recurring collector appetite for ancient civilization subjects that shows no sign of contraction.
