| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of Palau centrally displayed within a decorative shield, depicting a traditional figure flanked by a mermaid beneath a star and crescent, with a native canoeist above the shield. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, accompanied by eight five-pointed stars evenly distributed around the field. The inscription RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 10$ is positioned in the lower field below the arms. Two curved decorative elements flank the shield in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific commemorative coin program since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign minting rights to European distributors — primarily Austrian and Polish mints — to produce collector pieces with virtually no domestic circulation. This issue belongs squarely to that model: a bullion-weight silver coin tied to an Aesop fable, produced for the international collector market rather than any Palauan monetary purpose.
The KM#860 attribution places it within a catalog sequence that had already run into the hundreds by 2020, reflecting just how densely Palau has issued across themes.
