| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Coat of Arms of Fiji in high relief at centre, featuring a quartered shield supported by two Fijian warriors in traditional dress — the dexter supporter holding a spear and the sinister supporter carrying a palm branch. The shield bears a British lion passant in the chief, with quarters depicting a British lion, sugar cane, a coconut palm, and a dove. Above the shield, a sailing vessel appears as the crest. A scroll beneath bears the motto legend 'Rerevaka na Kalou ka doka na Tui' in Latin script. The country name 'FIJI' and date '2020' are inscribed in the upper field, flanked by the purity marks '3 oz' and 'Ag 999', with the denomination '10 DOLLARS' in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely occupied by an intricately rendered Persian mandala design executed in ultra-high relief, presenting multiple concentric layers of geometric and floral arabesque motifs radiating symmetrically from a central circular white jade inset. The design features repeating pointed petal forms, interlocking polygonal lattices, and densely carved foliate infill across the entire field, evoking the ornamental tilework of classical Persian architecture. The antique finish accentuates the depth of the relief, creating strong contrast between the raised design elements and the recessed background. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. The white jade cabochon is set flush at the centre of the composition. |
