| 裏面の説明 | Central field depicts a full-length polychrome effigy of Snegurochka, the Snow Maiden of Russian folklore, rendered in applied color. She is shown wearing a long blue fur-trimmed coat and a blue crown-like kokoshnik headdress adorned with snowflake motifs, with a long braid falling over her shoulder; she holds a small red bird in her raised right hand. The background is struck in satin finish and portrays a winter landscape with snow-covered fields and frost-laden fir trees. Snowflake cross motifs are scattered across the upper field. The curved legend 'HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY CHRISTMAS' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. |

Nauru — a phosphate-depleted Pacific island of roughly 10,000 people with no meaningful numismatic tradition — became a prolific issuer of themed collector coins in the 2000s largely because the format required no domestic infrastructure, only a licensing arrangement with a foreign mint. The Snow Maiden series belongs to that wave of contracted issues targeting the European and Russian collector market, where frost-figure iconography sells reliably.
Nauru's nominal authority over such issues is a legal formality; the Bank of Nauru had effectively ceased normal banking operations years prior.
