The distinctive striped juvenile coloration of the species — deep blue with concentric white circular markings — is faithfully reproduced in color against the naturalistic reef background. The legend 'MARINE LIFE PROTECTION' is inscribed along the lower periphery within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued fish-themed silver dollars since 1992 under a long-running Marine Life Protection series, making this one of dozens of similar pieces struck for the collector market rather than circulation. The program is produced under license and has no meaningful monetary use in Palau itself, a nation whose everyday currency is the U.S. dollar.
KM#113 is one of the more common entries in the series by secondary market volume.
