| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau centered within the field, depicting a traditional scene with a merman figure flanked by sea creatures on a shield, with the inscription 'RAINBOW'S END' on a scroll at the base of the shield. Above the arms, a traditional Palauan outrigger canoe with a figure is depicted. The encircling legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' arcs across the upper field, with a row of small stars flanking the coat of arms on either side.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, finely engraved broadside view of the three-masted sailing bark Gorch Fock under full sail, her hull rendered above a stippled sea. A decorative ribbon banner arching across the upper field bears the ship's name 'GORCH FOCK' in raised capital letters. The date '2008' is inscribed in the lower exergue beneath the vessel, completing the composition in a clean and classically nautical style. |
