| Obverse description | The obverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau at centre, depicting a crowned Neptune seated and holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid, with a treasure chest and marine flora in the field of the shield; a crescent moon and a star appear above. A small figure in a traditional outrigger canoe is rendered above the shield. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by eight five-pointed stars on either side. The inscription RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 5$ is shown in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed relief depiction of the Finsteraarhorn, the highest peak of the Bernese Alps, its rocky summit and glaciated flanks rendered with exceptional sculptural precision against a mirror-polished field. In the lower right, a cluster of forget-me-not flowers (Myosotis) is reproduced in vivid blue colour-print, providing a striking chromatic contrast to the monochrome mountain scene. The series title MOUNTAINS & FLORA arcs along the upper legend in bold lettering. The mountain's name FINSTERAARHORN and its elevation 4274 m appear in the lower central field, with the date 2014 inscribed on a decorative ribbon scroll beneath. |
