| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau rendered in high relief against a deeply textured obsidian black field evocative of a nocturnal starry sky, with finely applied colour evoking luminescent stars scattered across the background. The arms are surmounted by the arc legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU, while the inscription RAINBOW'S END appears on a scroll below the shield and the denomination 10$ is placed beneath. The lower portion of the field displays a dramatic silhouetted landscape of trees and foliage in relief, with the bold curved legend HUNTERS BY NIGHT inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, close-up frontal portrait of a python's head dominates the entire reverse field, rendered in extraordinary sculptural relief with meticulous scale-by-scale texture covering the surrounding coils. The entire design is finished in obsidian black, heightening the dramatic nocturnal atmosphere of the series. The python's eyes are rendered in vivid applied colour, featuring striking yellow, orange, and red tones with dark vertical pupils, providing a compelling focal point against the monochromatic field. The forked tongue is subtly visible at the lower centre of the composition. The date 2022 is incused in small characters near the lower rim. |
