| Obverse description | A highly stylized, high-relief depiction of a leaping buck occupies the central field, rendered with fine naturalistic detail including prominent antlers and musculature. A palm frond or cereal plant is depicted to the left of the animal. The Republic of Palau coat of arms appears to the right of the buck in the middle field. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU curves along the right periphery, with the denomination 2$ inscribed at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific novelty bullion program since the 1990s, licensing its mint authority to European producers — primarily in Germany and Austria — to issue coins with no meaningful circulation function. This piece is part of that pipeline, sold directly to collectors at a premium over melt.
The $2 denomination is a legal fiction; Palau's actual currency is the U.S. dollar.
