| Obverse description | A central allegorical group depicts Neptune standing erect in the field, holding a trident aloft in his right hand, flanked by two reclining mermaids at his feet. The composition is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, with a beaded inner border encircling the design. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2006 arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the denomination 5$ appears to the left of the central device. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a vivid full-color photographic-style depiction of two hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus) swimming amid a coral reef environment, rendered with applied color enamel over the silver substrate. The larger fish is shown in profile facing right, displaying its characteristic reddish-orange and white mottled coloration with prominent dorsal spines, while a second specimen appears in the lower foreground. Yellow coral formations occupy the lower right of the field, with a deep blue ocean background completing the naturalistic scene. A beaded inner border frames the composition, and the legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. |
