| Obverse description | Central field features a seated allegorical figure of Neptune (Poseidon), depicted bearded and draped, reclining upon a large seashell and holding a trident upright in his right hand. The figure is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The arc legend 'REPUBLIC OF PALAU 2002' is inscribed along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the denomination '5$' appears in the lower field. The overall design conveys a classical maritime allegory appropriate to the Marine Life Protection series. |
