| Obverse description | Central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau, depicting a shield enclosing a scene of Neptune seated and holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid, with a treasure chest and marine elements in the foreground and a star above; the shield is flanked by decorative floral and foliate scrollwork. A traditional Palauan canoe with a figure is shown above the shield. Eight stars are arranged in a circular pattern around the coat of arms. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, the series name RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 5$ is inscribed at the bottom of the field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued wildlife-themed silver rounds under its "Animals" series since the early 2000s, leveraging its status as a sovereign nation with licensing authority to produce legal tender collectibles — a common arrangement among Pacific microstates with no meaningful domestic coin circulation. The Grey Wolf issue sits in a long line of such pieces, produced almost certainly by a European contract mint rather than any facility in Palau itself.
