| Obverse description | Central motif depicts a highly detailed high-relief effigy of a moth with wings fully spread, rendered in an antique copper-toned finish against a rainbow-colored iridescent field. Above the moth, the national arms of Palau appear in the upper field. Surrounding the central design, the palindromic Latin legend IN GIRUM IMUS NOCTE ET CONSUMIMUR IGNI is inscribed in Gothic blackletter script, arranged in a circular border with mirrored mirror-image lettering reading both normally and in reverse simultaneously, referencing the coin's optical illusion theme. The inscriptions REPUBLIC OF PALAU, RAINBOW'S END, and the denomination 20 DOLLARS appear in the lower field. |
