| Obverse description | The obverse features a richly textured field divided into two distinct camouflage-inspired patterns: the upper half displays an organic, amoeba-like spotted motif evoking animal skin, while the lower half presents a geometric, concentric-square design reminiscent of reptilian or insect patterning. At the centre, a raised circular cartouche bears the arms of the Republic of Palau — depicting a traditional scene with a fisherman and native flora — encircled by the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU and flanked by stars. The arc legend CAMOUFLAGE OF NATURE surrounds the central medallion, with the series name RAINBOW'S END and the denomination 20$ inscribed within the inner ring. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a striking op-art composition in which a zebra's head and neck emerge diagonally from the lower centre of the field, its bold black-and-white striped coat seamlessly blending into a dense pattern of concentric horizontal lines that fill the entire field, creating a vivid trompe-l'oeil camouflage illusion. The lines curve and warp around the animal's form, enhancing the three-dimensional effect and making the zebra appear to dissolve into its surroundings. The coloured surface contrasts deep black tones against polished silver highlights, rendered in high relief. The date 2023 is inscribed in small characters along the lower rim. |
