| Obverse description | The obverse presents a highly detailed commemorative tableau set against a black mirror field. In the upper portion, a silhouetted bugler in military dress uniform plays taps beside an American flag, rendered in frosted relief against the dark background. To the upper right, a circular cartouche bears the Palau state coat of arms surrounded by the legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU and the denomination 25$, with the inscription RAINBOW'S END below the shield. The lower half of the field depicts the USS Arizona Memorial structure rendered in polished relief, shown as a white elongated pavilion spanning the harbor waters. In the foreground, two naval servicemen in uniform are shown in saluting posture, their figures outlined in stark contrast against the field. The legends PEARL HARBOR and HAWAII arc across the upper border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a full-color aerial view of the sunken wreck of the USS Arizona, depicted in rich blue, green, and gold tones showing the corroded hull resting on the harbor floor, flanked by open water rendered in deep blue enamel. The ship's superstructure mast rises vertically in uncolored silver relief at the center of the composition, overlaying the wreck. The date DECEMBER 7, 1941 is inscribed in the field to the right of the mast. At the lower center, a genuine relic fragment from the USS Arizona is encapsulated within a square mount framed by a laurel wreath, flanked by the mint master initials MS and the year 2021 in shield-shaped cartouches. The legend REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR arcs prominently across the upper border, with USS ARIZONA inscribed in the lower field. |
