| 背面描述 | Five historic sailing vessels rendered in fine detail are depicted across the central and lower field, evoking the era of European exploration and the maritime heritage of the Caribbean. A large square-rigged galleon dominates the foreground at center, flanked by two smaller sailing ships to the left and two to the right, all rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The denomination numeral 10 appears prominently at the top of the field, with the word DOLLARS inscribed immediately below in a bold serif legend, together forming the complete face value inscription. |

Trinidad and Tobago's large-denomination circulation coinage of the early 1980s was issued against a backdrop of the country's oil boom beginning to soften — petroleum revenues that had funded ambitious public spending through the 1970s were contracting sharply by 1983. The Central Bank had only been issuing its own notes and coins independently since 1964, and the $10 coin represented an unusually high face value for a circulation piece in the anglophone Caribbean at the time.
KM#55 is part of a short-lived series that saw little sustained use as circulating tender.
