| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Republic of Palau, depicting a shield enclosing a scene with a crowned Neptune figure holding a trident, accompanied by a mermaid, a treasure chest, and marine vegetation amid stylized waves. Above the shield, a traditional Palauan canoe with a paddler is rendered in relief. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU' arcs along the upper rim, flanked by six stars on each side, while the text 'RAINBOW'S END' appears within the lower portion of the shield. The denomination '5$' is inscribed below the coat of arms in the lower field. |

The legend 'YEAR OF THE ROOSTER' arcs along the upper rim in stylized lettering, and the date '2017' appears at the bottom of the inner field.
