| Obverse description | Central field features a highly detailed rendering of the America's Cup trophy — the ornate Auld Mug ewer — depicted in fine relief with its characteristic scrolled handle, lobed body, and tiered pedestal base. The trophy is encircled by a ring of raised dots. The legend SAMOA I SISIFO arcs across the upper field, while ONE OUNCE appears vertically along the left and 999 SILVER along the right, both flanking the central motif. The denomination $10 is inscribed at the base of the design in bold characters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief scene of a racing yacht under full sail, depicted heeling sharply to starboard in turbulent seas, with crew members visible on deck managing the rigging. The billowing mainsail and taut lines dominate the upper left field, conveying a strong sense of speed and maritime energy. Breaking waves are rendered in fine detail along the lower right, with rocky coastline elements visible in the background. The legend AMERICA'S CUP appears in the upper right field, with 1987 PERTH inscribed directly below, commemorating the defence of the trophy held off Fremantle, Western Australia. A designer's monogram is visible at lower left. |
