| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIC OF PALAU RAINBOW'S END 20 $ |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed high-relief depiction of Charon, the ferryman of the dead from Greek mythology, shown as a hooded skeletal figure in tattered robes standing in his boat on the River Styx, gripping a long oar. Gold-gilded coins, candles, and a hanging lantern are scattered across the vessel's prow, while grasping hands of souls emerge from the dark waters below. In the background, shrouded souls await on the riverbank before a forbidding rocky landscape dominated by a colossal skull-shaped rock formation and ruined classical architecture. The date 2023 is inscribed on the side of the boat in the right field. The antiqued finish and selective gold gilding enhance the dramatic, macabre atmosphere of the composition. |
