The coat of arms of Palau. Above the inscription REPUBLIC OF PALAU, below 5$.

Description reverse

The golden lamp can be seen laying in the sand with the dunes in the background against a canvas of a starry night sky. The three desert travelers on camels can be seen to the left of the lamp. The Black Proof finish creates an ancient but also modern look which is an impressive contrast to the gilded lamp. The sophisticated colorization of the mystical smoke coming out of the lamp adds a unique touch to this piece.
