| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field of the rectangular flan, rendered in high relief with fine detail on the crown, hair, and pearl necklace. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper border, while the issuing authority THREE KINGS ISLANDS appears in two lines across the lower field. The date 2017 is inscribed below the legend at the base. The portrait style is consistent with the mature Raphael Maklouf or Ian Rank-Broadley convention used on Commonwealth issues of this period. The mirrored proof-like fields provide strong contrast against the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of the jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata, commonly known as the white-spotted jellyfish, dominates the central field, shown with its characteristic domed bell and trailing oral arms rendered in sharp relief against mirror-like proof fields. The species name Phyllorhiza punctata is inscribed in italic script along the upper border. The denomination numeral 10 appears in large characters in the lower field, with the word dollars beneath it completing the value inscription. The composition effectively conveys the translucent, delicate nature of the subject through contrasting frosted and polished surfaces. |
