| Obverse description | The obverse features the national coat of arms of Palau displayed within a heraldic shield, depicting a crowned sea god holding a trident seated alongside a mermaid, with a treasure chest at left and stylized waves in the field. A traditional outrigger canoe appears above the shield, surmounting the composition. Six five-pointed stars flank the shield on either side. The curved legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim against a darkened border, while the denomination 5$ appears in the lower field beneath the shield. The motto RAINBOW'S END is inscribed within the lower portion of the shield. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued silver bullion and commemorative pieces under licensing agreements with foreign minting houses since the 1990s, despite having no domestic mint of its own. The Year of the Dog series sits within a long run of Pacific island-issued lunar coins produced primarily for the collector market, where the issuing nation's endorsement is largely nominal.
