| Obverse description | The central device depicts the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau, featuring a shield bearing the figure of a sea deity holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid, set against a stylized marine landscape with a crescent moon and star above. A traditional Palauan sailing canoe appears above the shield. Eight five-pointed stars flank the coat of arms on either side within the field. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery, with the motto RAINBOW'S END inscribed at the base of the shield, and the denomination 5$ below in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued collector silver under its own authority since 1992, despite having no indigenous coinage tradition and using the US dollar in daily commerce. The Easter Island subject here is purely numismatic — a licensing arrangement typical of the small Pacific island states that have made boutique silver issues a minor revenue stream since the 1990s. No particular historical event or minting curiosity distinguishes KM#389 from the broader Palauan commemorative program of its vintage.
