| Obverse description | A dynamic high-relief depiction of Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, shown rearing with wings unfurled and occupying the majority of the obverse field, rendered in an antiqued finish evoking ancient coinage. To the right, the national coat of arms of Palau is incused within a circular cartouche. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination 2$ appears in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, producing hundreds of themed releases with no connection to domestic monetary circulation. This piece is part of that export-collector trade, struck for the international bullion and novelty market rather than any transactional use in Palau itself — a country whose everyday currency remains the U.S. dollar.
