| Obverse description | The Jamaican national coat of arms dominates the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing five pineapples, surmounted by a crocodile atop a royal helmet, and flanked by two Taino indigenous figures as supporters, each adorned with traditional feathered headdresses. The left-hand supporter holds a basket of fruit, while the right-hand supporter carries a bow. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in the legend OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE. The country name JAMAICA arcs across the upper field, with the denomination TEN DOLLARS and date 1990 inscribed along the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A portrait bust of Christopher Columbus is depicted in left-facing three-quarter profile in the left portion of the field, rendered in fine relief with period-appropriate attire including a wide-collared shirt and cape. To the right, a detailed engraving of a period sailing vessel — consistent with the caravels of Columbus's 1492 fleet — is shown at sea with full sails set. A compass rose device appears in the upper central field. The curved legend ARRIVAL IN THE NEW WORLD arcs across the upper field, with the name COLUMBUS inscribed prominently beneath it in larger lettering. |
