| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Palau is depicted centrally within a heart-shaped shield, showing a traditional figure with a trident against a seascape with a canoe above, and the inscription RAINBOWS END on a scroll beneath the shield. The field surrounding the arms is decorated with stylized tropical foliage, sand dollars, and floral motifs rendered in fine relief. Eight five-pointed stars are distributed around the inner border in medal style. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals, while the denomination 5$ appears at the bottom of the coin in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued commemorative silver pieces under its licensing agreements with foreign minting houses since the early 1990s, when the island nation — population under 20,000 — began leveraging its sovereignty to enter the collector coin market. The dragonfly series sits within a long run of Palauan nature-themed issues produced almost entirely for the European and Asian collector trade, with no meaningful domestic circulation intended or achieved.
