| Obverse description | The crowned arms of Saint Lucia are displayed centrally, flanked by two parrots as supporters, each with wings displayed. The shield bears the national emblems, and a scroll below carries the national motto. The commemorative legend 'ROYAL VISIT 1985' arcs around the upper field, while 'SAINT LUCIA' appears in italic script below the arms and 'TEN DOLLARS' runs along the lower arc, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Saint Lucia issued this piece to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's visit to the Eastern Caribbean in 1985, part of a broader royal tour that included several Windward and Leeward Islands. The .925 silver proof was struck alongside a cupro-nickel circulation version — the KM#13a designation distinguishing it from that base-metal companion.
