| Reverse description | A stylised world globe depicted in relief at the centre of the field, encircled by a Scout neckerchief tie knotted at the lower portion of the globe, symbolising the centenary of the Scouting movement. The legend 'SCOUTS 1907-2007' arcs along the upper periphery, with the motto 'BE PREPARED' continuing to the right, and the denomination 'TEN DOLLARS' inscribed in the lower exergue. The design is set against a deeply mirrored proof field with the globe rendered in frosted relief. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of New Zealand's scouting movement, this piece ties directly to the 1907 experimental camp Robert Baden-Powell held on Brownsea Island — the event widely credited as the practical origin of Scouting worldwide. New Zealand was among the earliest countries to formally adopt the movement after its founding, making the centenary claim historically legitimate rather than a marketing stretch.
The .925 gold specification places this outside standard fine-gold (.999) collector coinage — a relatively uncommon alloy choice for a modern commemorative, more typical of 19th-century sovereign-weight issues than 21st-century mint production.
