Obverse description The obverse displays the full Fijian coat of arms in high relief at centre, featuring a quartered shield with a British lion passant in the chief, flanked by two traditional Fijian warriors as supporters — the dexter warrior holding a spear and the sinister warrior carrying a club. A Fijian outrigger canoe surmounts the shield as a crest. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in the Fijian language. The legend 'FIJI 2019' arcs across the upper field, while '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed in large letters along the lower field. The specifications '3oz' and 'Ag 999' appear in the left and right fields respectively, and a small mint mark is visible below the coat of arms.

Reverse description The reverse presents a highly detailed, full-field rendition of the famous Gothic rose window of Notre-Dame de Paris, executed in antique-finished relief with vivid multicolour inlay replicating the celebrated 13th-century stained glass. The composition radiates symmetrically from a central circular medallion, with sixteen principal lancets extending outward and subdivided by intricate Gothic tracery into a multitude of quatrefoil and trefoil compartments, each filled with polychromatic enamel or resin inlay in deep blues, reds, greens, and golds. The stone-coloured relief framework faithfully reproduces the architectural stonework of the original window, conveying remarkable three-dimensional depth. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse, allowing the decorative design to occupy the entire field to the rim.
