| Obverse description | The obverse presents a dramatic aerial perspective of an underwater scene rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is depicted in bold three-dimensional relief swimming upward through stylized ocean currents, its body occupying the central axis of the coin. To the lower right, two mermaids are shown in graceful flight through the water, rendered in fine detail. To the left, a surfboard drifts unattended on the surface. The inscriptions REPUBLIC OF PALAU and 5$ appear in the lower right field, with the date 2021 incused on the surfboard. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is fully colored in vivid turquoise and blue tones simulating a sun-dappled ocean surface viewed from above, with a rippling water texture filling the field. The three-dimensional dorsal fin and back of the great white shark protrude in high relief from the center, casting a shadow of the shark's silhouette beneath the surface in the color print. To the right, a female surfer lying prone on a white surfboard is rendered in polished relief with color highlights, unaware of the predator approaching below. The legend GREAT WHITE SHARK is inscribed along the upper periphery in bold capital letters. |
