| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly coloured, high-relief depiction of a female elf warrior rendered in full polychrome coloring applied over a finely engraved silver field. The figure, shown in three-quarter view, is adorned with pointed ears, long flowing red hair intricately braided, and is clad in detailed leather and plate armour of teal and brown tones. She carries a longbow in her left hand and a quiver of arrows on her back, with additional pouches and accoutrements at her belt. The background features delicately engraved trees and foliage in frosted relief. The legend ELVES is inscribed in the upper left field, accompanied by the series monogram FANTASY below it. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued silver collector coins under licensing agreements since the 1990s, most distributed through European coin marketing firms rather than through any domestic monetary channel — Palau has no independent currency in circulation, using the US dollar instead. The "Elves" issue belongs to a run of themed fantasy and folklore releases aimed squarely at the collector market, with no pretense of circulation intent.
KM#773 attribution places it within a catalogued series, though Krause entries for Palauan collector issues are notoriously inconsistent in cross-referencing mintage figures.
