Reversbeschreibung	Central field displays a vibrant polychrome enamel seascape featuring a large paper nautilus (Nautilus pompilius) in right profile, its characteristic ribbed and reddish-orange striped shell rendered in fine naturalistic detail, positioned at the lower right of the field. An array of colourful coral formations and marine flora occupies the lower left foreground. Above the ocean horizon, a luminous yellow moon rises against a deep blue sky with scattered clouds, evoking a nocturnal Pacific seascape. The legend INDEPENDENCE OCTOBER 1994 arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The polished raised rim is encircled by a beaded border.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Palau gained independence from U.S. administration on October 1, 1994, after a protracted series of referenda — seven in total between 1983 and 1993 — largely stalled by a constitutional provision requiring 75% approval for any agreement permitting nuclear weapons on Palauan soil. The Compact of Free Association that finally passed sidestepped that clause. This coin was issued the same year, capitalizing on the commemorative market that independence events reliably generate.
