Obverse description The national coat of arms of Nauru is centrally depicted in fine relief, featuring the traditional Nauruan frigate bird, a star, phosphite crystal, and flowering branches, with the Nauruan word 'NAOERO' on a scroll above and the motto 'GOD'S WILL FIRST' on a banner below. The legend 'BANK OF NAURU' arcs along the upper periphery in large capital letters. The date '2005' appears prominently in the lower field. The polished proof fields provide a strong contrast to the frosted devices.

Reverse description A finely detailed, partially gilt representation of the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Vienna, Austria, occupies the central field of the coin, with selective gold plating applied to the entire architectural motif to highlight the Gothic spires, ornate facades, and characteristic tiled roof. The legend 'AUSTRIA – STEPHANSDOM' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '10 DOLLARS' and the series inscription 'EUROPEAN MONUMENTS' appear in the lower field beneath the cathedral. The contrast between the gold-plated central device and the mirror-polished silver fields enhances the visual impact of this proof issue.
