| Obverse description | A naturalistic underwater scene occupies the lower field, depicting a nude female figure — a mermaid or ocean nymph — swimming horizontally amid tropical fish, shells, and sea flora rendered in fine relief. Above the waterline, a large swordfish (blue marlin) leaps to the left against a rising sun with radiating rays, with a small palm-fringed island visible to the right. The beaded border frames the design throughout. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2000 arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the denomination 20$ appears prominently in the lower left field. |
