| Obverse description | A bearded figure of Neptune, depicted from the waist up with a fish-tail lower body, dominates the central field, rising dramatically above the prow of an ancient sailing vessel rendered in fine relief. The god brandishes a trident aloft in his right hand while his left hand trails a serpentine element to the right. The ship below is depicted with detailed rigging, oars, and hull ornamentation, set upon stylized waves in the lower field. The legend REPUBLIC OF PALAU arcs along the upper periphery and 2000 descends along the right, both within a beaded border. The denomination 5$ appears in the left field. |

| Reverse description | A vibrant multicolor scene depicts a sunken shipwreck resting on the seabed in the background, surrounded by an abundant underwater environment. Tropical fish of various species are shown swimming in the foreground above and around a richly detailed coral reef rendered in vivid applied color. The naturalistic composition conveys a sense of marine depth and biodiversity, characteristic of Palau's Marine Life Protection series. The legend MARINE-LIFE PROTECTION is inscribed along the lower periphery within a beaded border. |
