| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Palau occupies the central field within a shield-shaped cartouche, depicting a traditional outrigger canoe above a figure of a fisherman accompanied by a manta ray, set against a sea and sky background. The motto scroll reading 'RAINBOW'S END' appears at the base of the shield. The denomination '5$' is inscribed in the lower field beneath the arms. Eight five-pointed stars are arranged symmetrically on either side of the shield in the outer field. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver dollars under licensing arrangements since the 1990s, producing themed series for foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation — this piece never saw a cash register in Ngerulmud. Prambanan is the ninth-century Hindu temple compound in central Java, built during the Sanjaya dynasty and dedicated primarily to the Trimurti; it was damaged by a 2006 earthquake that collapsed several of its smaller shrines and required ongoing UNESCO-assisted restoration work still incomplete by the time this coin was struck.
