| Obverse description | The national arms of Vanuatu depicted centrally in the field, featuring a Melanesian warrior in traditional attire standing before a curved boar's tusk, the whole surmounted by a fern frond on either side. The date 2016 appears above the arms. The circular legend is divided between the upper and lower periphery, reading RIPABLIK BLONG VANUATU around the outer rim, with the motto LONG GOD YUMI STANAP inscribed on a scroll at the base of the arms. |

| Additional information |
Vanuatu has issued a long series of small-format gold pieces tied to international cultural institutions — essentially bullion-adjacent collectibles produced for the numismatic export market rather than domestic circulation. The Guggenheim issue belongs to that category entirely. These were never intended to pass through anyone's hands as currency.
At 0.50g of 14-karat gold, the metal value is negligible. The premium these carry is wholly collector-driven.
