The species name 'Graphium weiskei' is inscribed in italicized legend along the upper left border, following the inner contour of a raised denticled rim. The denomination '10 VATU' is inscribed in the lower exergue in block capitals. A small engraver's monogram is visible to the right of the butterfly in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Graphium weiskei, the Purple-spotted Swallowtail, is endemic to the highlands of Papua New Guinea — which makes its appearance on a Vanuatu coin geographically curious. The Reserve Bank issued this piece as part of a broader Pacific wildlife bullion-style series aimed squarely at the thematic collector market rather than circulation, a strategy Vanuatu leaned on heavily through the 2000s to generate foreign exchange revenue from numismatic exports.
The .999 silver cladding over copper-nickel is a production compromise that keeps costs below a solid silver striking while still commanding a premium over base metal.
