| Obverse description | The obverse presents a highly detailed engraved panorama of deep space, with a central starburst radiating elongated light streaks outward to a circular orbital band that frames the composition. The surrounding field is populated with finely rendered celestial bodies and phenomena, including planets, a ringed gas giant, a spiral galaxy, asteroids, comets, orbiting satellites, and a stylised depiction of the Gemini constellation figures at the upper centre. At the lower centre, the national arms of the Republic of Palau are displayed within a cartouche, bearing the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU above and RAINBOW'S END below the shield. The curved legend SPACE · THE FINAL FRONTIER arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination TWENTY DOLLARS appears along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is fully coloured and depicts a breathtaking photorealistic representation of the observable universe set against a deep black cosmic field. At the centre glows a radiant orange and white sun, surrounded by the planets of the solar system rendered in vivid colour and accurate relative positioning, including Earth with its moon, a banded Jupiter, Saturn with its distinctive rings, and the outer planets. Distant galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and countless celestial bodies recede into the deep field toward the periphery, which is rendered in warm amber and russet tones evoking the cosmic microwave background. The date 2019 is inscribed at the lower rim in small Latin numerals. |
