| Obverse description | The Jamaican coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield adorned with five pineapples, surmounted by a Jamaican crocodile upon a royal helmet and mantling. Two Taíno figures serve as supporters flanking the shield, the female dexter figure holding a basket of fruit and the male sinister figure bearing a bow, with a scroll below bearing the national motto. The commemorative legend encircles the design, with the denomination $10 and the Franklin Mint mark appearing at the lower portion of the field. The dates 1962 and 1983 flank the legend vertically on either side. |

| Reverse description | The central design features two facing busts of Jamaican leaders — one dark-complexioned to the left and one lighter-complexioned to the right — flanking the large numeral 21, which commemorates the twenty-first anniversary of Jamaican independence. Behind the numeral, a stylized sunburst radiates upward, with the legend JAMAICA arching above in bold lettering. The anniversary dates 1962-1983 appear below the numeral, and a braided rope wreath curves around the lower portion of the design. The legends ONWARD TOGETHER and LAND WE LOVE are inscribed in the field to the sides and lower margin respectively. |
