| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of a medieval infernal scene inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch, depicting the torments of Hell and the punishment of the seven deadly sins across a panoramic hellscape. Sinners and demons populate a fiery, darkened landscape divided into distinct zones representing individual vices, with labelled inscriptions identifying each sin rendered in a Gothic-style script. The composition is rendered in rich polychrome color printing covering the entire reverse field, evoking the nightmarish imagery characteristic of Flemish Renaissance moralistic painting. The date 2022 appears in the lower left field of the composition. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued novelty legal tender through licensing arrangements with foreign minting houses for decades, and this piece belongs firmly in that tradition — produced for the collector market rather than circulation, with Palau's nominal authority lending legal tender status to what is essentially a themed bullion item. The "Hell" designation refers to the coin's place in a series exploring afterlife mythology across world cultures.
