| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Samoa occupies the central field, featuring a shield bearing five five-pointed stars arranged in the pattern of the Southern Cross constellation above a stylized ocean wave with a coconut palm, all superimposed upon a globe, and surmounted by a Christian cross. The shield is flanked by two olive branches tied at the base. A scroll beneath bears the national motto in Samoan: FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA. The legend SAMOA arcs along the upper rim, and the denomination $10 appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of the five-masted full-rigged sailing ship Preussen under full sail dominates the field, depicted underway on a rendered sea with realistic wave detail in the lower portion. The vessel's extensive rigging, yards, and billowing sails are rendered with exceptional engraving precision. The ship's name PREUSSEN is inscribed in capital letters along the upper right arc of the field. The series legend WINDJAMMERS OF THE WORLD appears in two lines in the lower left field, and the date 2010 is positioned at the bottom of the design. |
