| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-color polychrome representation of the Hercules moth (Coscinocera hercules) dominates the field, its wings rendered in vivid shades of red and ochre with characteristic dark eyespot markings and elongated hindwing tails. The scientific name 'Coscinocera hercules' arcs along the left and upper periphery in italic Latin lettering. The denomination '10 VATU' is inscribed at the base of the design, with a small decorator's monogram visible to the right of the central motif. A raised beaded border encircles the entire reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vanuatu's insect series, issued in the mid-2000s, was produced almost entirely for the collector market — circulation in Vanuatu for a 10 vatu silver-plated piece was never the intent. Coscinocera hercules, the Hercules moth, holds the record for the largest wing surface area of any living moth species, with females sometimes exceeding 300 square centimeters. It is native to Papua New Guinea and northeastern Australia, making its appearance on a Vanuatu coin a matter of regional association rather than strict endemism.
