| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered Bermuda tree frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) is depicted in high relief, perched upon broad tropical leaves that fill the central field. The composition captures the frog in a resting posture with its distinctive adhesive toe pads visible. The denomination TEN DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1990 appears in the lower exergue, all lettered in raised Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
Bermuda's gold wildlife series of 1990 was produced in limited quantities targeting the collector market rather than circulation, with the tree frog issue among the smaller-mintage pieces in the set. The Bermuda tree frog (Eleutherodactylus johnstonei) is not native — it arrived from the Eastern Caribbean, likely via imported plants, and had thoroughly colonized the island by the mid-twentieth century.
