| Obverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of the Ponte Sant'Angelo spanning the Tiber River, with angel statues lining the bridge's parapet, rendered in intricate sculptural detail. In the background, the facade and dome of St. Peter's Basilica rise prominently to the right. The Republic of Palau coat of arms appears in the upper centre within a circular legend, accompanied by the denomination 20$ in the field below it. The inscription ROMA occupies the lower centre of the field in large letters, with the phrase ti amo inscribed in script immediately beneath. The overall composition evokes the grandeur of Rome through a panoramic architectural tableau executed in the Tiffany Art series style. |

| Additional information |
Palau has operated a prolific commemorative coin program since the 1990s, licensing its sovereign minting rights to European distributors — primarily Austrian and German firms — who design, produce, and market the pieces with minimal involvement from Nuku'alofa. The "Rome" issue belongs to a broader architectural series targeting the collector gift market rather than any numismatic tradition rooted in Palauan history or culture.
