| Obverse description | The obverse features the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau centrally positioned within the field, surrounded by a thematic colored scene depicting the climactic moment of a chess match in which Death, personified as a skeletal figure, has delivered a decisive final move and claimed victory. The human opponent, overcome with fury and despair, is shown in the act of smashing the chessboard. The upper legend reads REPUBLIC OF PALAU and RAINBOW'S END, with the denomination 20 DOLLARS and the mint mark CP inscribed in the field. |
