| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau rendered in high relief against a deeply textured, obsidian black field evoking a star-studded nocturnal sky with subtle iridescent sparkle effects. The arms are centrally positioned with the motto scroll inscribed RAINBOWS END below the shield. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a ring of stars, while the denomination 20$ appears below the arms. Flanking the central device on either side, large eagle owl wings spread dramatically across the lower field, with the inscription HUNTERS BY NIGHT incused in bold relief along the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ultra-high relief, close-up portrait of an Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) facing forward, its plumage rendered in extraordinary sculptural detail with deeply textured feathers covering the entire field in obsidian black coloring. The owl's distinctive ear tufts are visible at the upper edge of the coin. The eyes are executed in vivid applied color, depicting luminous amber-orange irises with dark pupils, creating a striking focal point against the darkened surface. The date 2021 is inscribed in small characters along the lower rim. No legends appear on this face, allowing the naturalistic portrait to dominate the design completely. |
