| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with elaborately coiffed hair adorned with a decorative tiara, her draped bust truncated at the shoulder. The portrait, rendered in fine proof relief against a mirror-polished field, is attributed to the Pobjoy Mint's standard effigy used for British Virgin Islands coinage. The legend BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS arcs along the left periphery, while QUEEN ELIZABETH II and the date 2008 arc along the right. |

| Reverse description | A standing allegorical figure of Britannia, classically draped and helmeted, occupies the centre of the field, holding a long trident in her right hand raised aloft. To her left stands a winged Victory figure perched atop a decorative wave-form prow, reaching upward toward Britannia's raised arm. A Union Flag-decorated shield rests at Britannia's right side. The entire composition rests upon a stylised ship's prow, referencing British maritime sovereignty. The denomination $10 appears in the lower exergue, accompanied by the Pobjoy Mint mark PM. |
