| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the grand entrance hall to the Malachite Room of the Hermitage Museum, rendered in high relief with an antique finish. Two monumental atlantes figures flank a central doorway, their muscular forms straining as they support the architrave above. At the center of the doorway, a genuine inlaid malachite panel is set into the coin, displaying the stone's characteristic vivid green banding. The Fijian coat of arms appears on the central pillar to the right, with the denomination '10 DOLLARS' inscribed below it. The legend 'FIJI · 2013' arcs along the upper field, and the silver fineness mark 'Ag 999' appears in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborately detailed interior view of the Malachite Room of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, executed in finely modeled high relief with an antique finish. Towering malachite-clad columns, ornate candelabra with multiple branches, draped curtains, decorative urns, and richly furnished neoclassical architectural elements fill the field. A framed doorway at center right features a genuine inlaid malachite panel replicating the room's characteristic green stone decoration. The inscription 'MALACHITE ROOM' appears on a frieze above the doorway, while the series title 'MASTERPIECES IN STONE' is engraved in the lower portion of the field. |
