| Obverse description | The central field features the Palau coat of arms rendered in high relief against a textured rocky landscape backdrop, with silhouettes of various wildlife including alligators arranged throughout the field. A curved arc of raised beads spans the design, framing the central motif. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim in bold Latin lettering, while the denomination FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed to either side within the field. The date 2018 appears in the lower exergue, and the series name RAINBOW'S END is inscribed on a banner incorporated within the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an ultra-high relief, three-dimensional depiction of an alligator surging head-first from turbulent water, executed with exceptional naturalistic precision by CIT Coin Invest Trust. The heavily armored snout and powerful forelegs of the reptile dominate the field, with intricate detailing of individual scutes, osteoderms, and musculature rendered at remarkable sculptural depth. Dynamic rippling waves radiate across the field, displaced by the animal's powerful upward thrust, enhancing the dramatic sense of movement. The inscription ALLIGATOR is lettered in bold relief along the lower rim. |
