At the center, the eye of God, a pupil in which Jesus can be seen emerging from his tomb. Below this image is the Latin inscription: “Cave Cave Dominus Videt” – meaning “Beware, Beware, The Lord Sees”. The obverse of the coins feature the Coat of Arms of Palau and the inscription: “REPUBLIC OF PALAU” – the country of issue. The face value of the 1/2 Oz coins is “2$”, whereas the face value of the 3 Oz coin is “20$”.
