Obverse description A highly detailed, naturalistic depiction of a glasswing butterfly (Greta oto) dominates the rhombus-shaped field, its upper forewings rendered in vivid polychrome color with translucent blue, red, and orange hues inset into a heart-shaped aperture at center. The lower hindwings are executed in relief in matte and proof silver, conveying the species' characteristic transparent wing panels. A lush meadow landscape with grasses and scattered butterflies in flight is engraved across the field. The denomination legend 'Ten Dollars' appears in relief to the left, and the Palau coat of arms is shown to the right accompanied by the legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' and 'RAINBOW'S END'. The date '2014' is inscribed at the upper apex of the rhombus.
