| Obverse description | The full Coat of Arms of Jamaica occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing five golden pineapples on a black cross, supported on the dexter by a female Taíno figure holding a basket of fruit and on the sinister by a male Taíno figure holding a bow and arrow. Above the shield, a Jamaican crocodile is displayed atop a royal helmet and mantling. A scroll below bears the national motto legend OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE. The legend JAMAICA arcs along the upper periphery, while TEN DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border. The Franklin Mint mintmark FM appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A Streamer-tailed hummingbird (Trochilus polytmus), Jamaica's national bird, is depicted in flight to the right with wings outstretched and elongated tail feathers trailing, rendered in fine naturalistic detail. Below the hovering bird, a second hummingbird perches on a flowering branch, surrounded by blossoms and foliage. The date 1980 appears in the field, serving as the sole inscription on this face. The overall composition is set within a plain field framed by a beaded border, with the design executed in high relief typical of Franklin Mint collector issues. |
