| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau within a ornate shield, depicting a seated Neptune-like figure holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid to his right and an open treasure chest to his left, all set against a stylized sea. A traditional Palauan outrigger canoe with a paddler appears above the shield. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim, flanked by six stars distributed around the border, with the denomination 5$ inscribed at the bottom of the field. The inscription RAINBOW'S END appears in the lower portion of the shield. |

| Additional information |
Palau's annual lunar series has operated largely as a bullion-adjacent collector product since the early 2000s, marketed primarily through European distributors with limited domestic circulation relevance — Palau has no independent central bank and issues commemorative coinage under licensing arrangements that bear little connection to the island's economy.
The 2015 goat year aligns with the Chinese lunisolar calendar cycle, a recurring commercial hook for Pacific island issuers competing in the same crowded collector segment as similar issues from Niue, Tuvalu, and the Cook Islands.
