| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Palau depicted centrally within a shield, showing a traditional scene with a sea deity holding a trident flanked by a mermaid figure, surmounted by a native fisherman in a canoe. The shield is surrounded by stylised ocean waves and water splash elements that extend into the field. Eight five-pointed stars arranged in an arc flank the left and right sides of the design. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, with the motto RAINBOW'S END inscribed within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 10$ appears at the base. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated as one of the more prolific issuers of themed collector silver since the late 1990s, leveraging a licensing arrangement that allows foreign minting houses — primarily in Europe — to produce issues under Palauan authority with minimal domestic oversight. The "Goddess of Water" belongs to a long-running series exploiting that framework. Whether KM#1043 sees any meaningful secondary market depends almost entirely on mintage caps set by the issuing agent, not the nominal authority.
