| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Palau is depicted in the upper central field, surrounded by a ring of stars, with the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcing along the upper periphery. Below the arms, the denomination 2$ appears in the field, and the series name RAINBOW'S END is inscribed on a banner within the shield. In the lower half of the coin, an open Bible is rendered in high relief, emitting radiating rays of light that fan outward across the field. The series legend BIBLICAL STORIES curves along the lower rim in bold incuse lettering. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued a substantial number of themed silver pieces aimed squarely at the collector market, with religious and novelty subjects dominating its output from the 2000s onward. This piece falls into a sub-category the trade sometimes calls "enamel novelty" issues — coins produced with attached or inset decorative elements that push the boundary between numismatic object and souvenir. KM#698.1 distinguishes it from at least one variant, suggesting a parallel issue exists with a differing detail, most likely in the enamel or insert treatment.
