| Reverse description | A detailed aerial-perspective rendering of the Munich Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion), designed by Günter Behnisch and known for its distinctive tensile tent-roof structure, occupies the central field. The characteristic cable-supported canopy with its sweeping masts is rendered in fine relief, with surrounding parkland and landscape indicated in the lower field. The series legend 'WONDERS OF THE WORLD' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked on both sides by a border of raised dots. The denomination '10 VATU' appears in the lower centre field, with 'MUNICH OLYMPIC STADIUM' inscribed along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Vanuatu has no meaningful connection to the 1972 Munich Olympics — this is a bullion-adjacent collector issue produced solely for the numismatic export market, a category in which the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu has been prolific. The 14-karat gold composition keeps raw material costs low while allowing a nominal face value that satisfies legal tender technicalities.
