| Obverse description | Left-facing truncated effigy of Queen Beatrix occupies the left half of the bimetallic centre, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. To the right, the crowned coat of arms of Sint Eustatius is depicted in detail, featuring a fortified tower and wavy bands. The legend 'SAINT EUSTATIUS' appears in two lines to the right of the arms, with the numeral '10' positioned in the lower centre of the coin. A small inscription 'St. Eustatius' is visible above the shield. |

| Additional information |
Saint Eustatius has no independent monetary authority — it is a special municipality of the Netherlands, and its official currency is the US dollar. This piece is a local issue produced for collector and commemorative purposes rather than genuine circulation, a category the Netherlands Antilles and its successor entities have used periodically to assert distinct local identity within the Dutch constitutional framework. The island's economy, once the busiest trading hub in the Atlantic world during the 18th century, now supports fewer than 4,000 residents.
