| Obverse description | Oval silver coin featuring a right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait, wearing a diadem, occupying the lower half of the field. The legend 'ELIZABETH II' arcs across the upper portion of the field, with 'FIJI' to the lower left and the date '2012' to the lower right. The denomination '$10' appears in relief below the portrait. In the upper portion of the oval, a circular glass window is set into the coin, enclosing a miniature antique polar map illuminated in amber tones. A beaded inner border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this oval silver coin presents a richly detailed high-relief scene evoking the age of polar exploration. A bearded figure, robed and crowned in the manner of a allegorical king or sea deity, stands prominently in the lower left, gesturing toward a elegantly dressed female figure to his right, possibly representing an allegorical personification of navigation or discovery. A sailing vessel is visible in the background to the left, while a sextant or navigational instrument appears above the male figure. In the upper portion of the oval, the same circular glass window set into the coin showcases a fragment of an antique polar map rendered in warm amber hues, with partial cartographic legends visible. The inscriptions 'SYSTEM POLAR' and 'FIJI' appear within the field. |
