| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly detailed high-relief depiction of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, rendered in antiqued finish with finely engraved architectural elements including sculpted friezes, cornices, and relief panels flanking the central arch. The central archway of the monument incorporates an inset of translucent green art glass in the Tiffany style, simulating a stained-glass window effect. To the lower left of the arch, the national coat of arms of Palau appears within a cartouche, accompanied by the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU and RAINBOW'S END in the field. The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed at the lower left, and a sculptural group of figures in high relief is visible to the lower right of the arch. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately rendered interior architectural scene in the Neoclassical style, depicting the grand vaulted rotunda and colonnade of a monumental public building, with fluted Corinthian columns, richly ornamented pilasters, and coffered arched ceilings executed in exceptional high relief. The central arch of the composition frames an inset panel of translucent green Tiffany art glass, replicating the luminous quality of stained glass. Sculptural groups in high relief populate the lower register and flanking panels, animated with figures in classical dress. The legend NEOCLASSICISM is inscribed prominently at the lower centre in stylised lettering, with TIFFANY ART and the date 2012 below in smaller characters. |
