| Reverse description | An extreme close-up portrait of an ocelot fills the entire field, rendered in highly detailed sculptural relief with meticulous engraving of the animal's fur texture, prominent whiskers, and facial features. The eyes are selectively colored in vivid amber and yellow, providing a striking contrast against the overall obsidian black finish of the coin. The date 2024 is inscribed in small characters along the lower exergual area. The composition creates an intensely naturalistic and dramatic effect, emphasizing the nocturnal predatory nature of the subject. |

| Additional information |
Palau has no indigenous ocelot population — the species is native to the Americas, ranging from the southwestern United States down through Argentina. Palau's wildlife-themed silver program has long issued coins depicting fauna entirely unrelated to the Pacific island nation, a commercial strategy driven by the collector bullion market rather than any national or ecological connection to the subject.
