| Obverse description | The central field displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Palau, featuring a shield with a figure of Neptune seated amid waves, holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid and a treasure chest, with a traditional Palauan outrigger canoe above the shield. The arms are encircled by an ornate decorative border. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper rim, flanked by five-pointed stars on either side, while the inscription RAINBOW'S END appears within the lower portion of the shield, and the denomination 5$ is inscribed in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Palau has issued lunar-themed bullion and collector pieces under licensing arrangements for decades, with much of the actual design and distribution work handled by European minting and marketing firms rather than any domestic Palauan monetary authority. The KM#979.2 designation suggests a catalogued variant within a broader rabbit-year issue — likely distinguished by finish, privy mark, or packaging rather than a substantive design change.
