| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Botswana occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with three cogwheels above wavy horizontal lines representing water, with a bull's head in the lower portion. The shield is flanked on the left by a tusk and on the right by a sorghum stalk. A ribbon scroll below the shield bears the national motto 'PULA' in raised lettering. The legend 'BOTSWANA' curves along the left periphery and 'IPELEGENG' along the right, with the date '2008' situated prominently at the base of the coin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) is depicted in full stride, leaping dynamically to the left across an open field, rendered with fine naturalistic detail. The denomination numeral '10' appears prominently in the upper central field in bold characters, with the currency unit 'THEBE' inscribed directly below in capital letters. The composition is uncluttered, with the antelope as the dominant design element against a plain field, conveying the wildlife heritage of Botswana. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Botswana's thebe coinage was introduced in 1976 when the country replaced the South African rand with its own currency — a move made possible by the dramatic reversal in the country's fortunes following the Orapa diamond discovery in 1967. The nickel clad steel composition adopted for this denomination by the late 1990s reflects a cost-driven reformulation common across southern African currencies during that period, as rising nickel prices made earlier alloys increasingly impractical to mint.
