| Obverse description | The obverse presents the coin's exterior face, struck in the form of a freshwater mussel shell (Hyriopsis cumingii), with deeply sculpted, highly textured ridges and striations replicating the natural topography of the bivalve's outer surface. At center, inset within the shell form, appears a heart-shaped cartouche depicting a classical figure of Neptune seated upon a sea creature, holding a trident, accompanied by a reclining female figure, with celestial motifs in the upper field. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' arcs above the cartouche, with 'RAINBOW'S END' inscribed within the lower portion of the cartouche border, and the denomination '5$' appears in the lower field of the shell exterior. |
