| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Nauru occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a frigatebird perched above water on the lower left and a flowering tomano branch on the lower right, with a traditional Nauruan woven pattern surmounted by a twelve-pointed star on the upper half. The shield is flanked by two outstretched frigate bird wings as supporters, and a scroll below bears the national motto GOD'S WILL FIRST, while a banner above the crest reads NAOERO. The curved legend BANK OF NAURU arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2010 appears in large numerals at the base of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Dornier Do X was the largest aircraft in the world when it flew in 1929 — a twelve-engine flying boat that carried 169 passengers on a demonstration flight over Lake Constance, a record that stood for decades. Its transatlantic voyage from 1930 to 1931 was plagued by fires, mechanical failures, and a nine-month delay in the Canary Islands. Only three were ever built, all for different operators, and none survived the war.
