| Obverse description | At center, the shield-shaped coat of arms of the Republic of Palau, depicting a sea god seated and holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid to his right, a treasure chest to his left, a crescent moon and an eight-pointed star above, all within a decorative floral border. A traditional outrigger canoe appears above the shield. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim, with six stars distributed symmetrically in the field. The inscription RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 5$ is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |

| Reverse description | At center, a holographic depiction of a barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) in flight, rendered with iridescent multicolor hologram technology that produces shifting spectral colors across the bird's plumage. The swallow is shown in dynamic mid-flight pose with characteristic forked tail clearly visible. The legend PACIFIC WILDLIFE arcs along the upper rim in bold raised lettering, with the date 2009 positioned centrally just below it. The polished silver field provides a bright mirror-like contrast to the holographic central motif. |
