| Obverse description | Central field depicts a classical allegorical scene featuring a seated mermaid, her fish-scaled tail curling to the left, holding a trident upright beside her, accompanied by a reclining bearded Neptune wearing a crown, both figures resting upon a rocky base amid stylized waves. The composition is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2007 curves along the upper periphery, and the denomination 5$ appears in the lower field. The entire design is bordered by a fine beaded inner rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-color application depicting a surgeon fish (Acanthuridae) shown in left-facing profile, rendered in brilliant shades of blue with a distinctive golden-yellow crescent marking along its flank, set against a deep-blue underwater background with subtle coral reef elements. The colorized insert fills the majority of the inner field, creating a naturalistic underwater tableau. The legend MARINE LIFE PROTECTION arcs along the upper periphery in raised letters above the colored scene. The design is framed by a beaded inner border consistent with the obverse. |
