The legend BANK OF NAURU arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2005 appears in the lower field beneath the arms. The design is rendered in high relief against a polished proof field. |

A detailed portrait bust of Konrad Adenauer, first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, is depicted in three-quarter left-facing view, occupying the central field with fine sculptural relief. Adenauer is shown in civilian dress, his distinctive angular features rendered with considerable artistic detail. The legend 1949-1963 KONRAD ADENAUER arcs along the upper left periphery within a beaded inner border, referencing his years as Chancellor. The denomination 10 DOLLARS appears along the lower arc, also within the beaded border. |

Nauru's gold miniature series, of which this is one entry, exploited the island nation's nominal monetary sovereignty to produce collector issues bearing portraits of foreign statespeople — a practice with no connection to Nauruan history or circulation. Adenauer himself died in 1967, nearly four decades before this coin was struck. The Bank of Nauru was effectively insolvent by the early 2000s following the collapse of phosphate revenues, making these issues curiosities of convenience rather than any meaningful commemorative program.
