| Obverse description | The central field bears the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau, depicting a traditional shield supported by a seated Neptune figure holding a trident alongside a mermaid, with a canoe above and floral ornamentation below. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs above the arms, accompanied by a ring of stars, while the series subtitle RAINBOW'S END appears in the exergue beneath the shield. The denomination 20$ is inscribed below the central device. The broad outer border is rendered in high relief as an elaborate jigsaw puzzle motif, with the series name MICROPUZZLE arcing at the top and TREASURES at the bottom of the border field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver rounds under its licensing agreements with outside minting houses for decades, with the actual production typically handled by European facilities — this piece almost certainly struck by B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt in Munich or a comparable contractor, not on any Palauan soil. The country's numismatic program exists entirely as a revenue vehicle, with face values bearing no relationship to domestic monetary use.
The Van Gogh intellectual property rights expired long ago, leaving the image in the public domain and making it a predictable target for themed bullion issues.
