| Obverse description | The central field displays the national arms of Vanuatu, featuring a Melanesian warrior in traditional dress standing before a curved boar's tusk, above a scroll bearing the national motto 'LONG GOD YUMI STANAP'. The denomination '10 VATU' appears above the coat of arms, with the legends 'RIPABLIK BLONG VANUATU' completing the central device. The wide outer ring of the obverse is richly decorated with a series of prehistoric dinosaurs rendered in high relief, arranged in a continuous frieze around the circumference of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, high-relief depiction of a Pteranodon in flight, the iconic Late Cretaceous pterosaur characterised by its distinctive elongated cranial crest and large membranous wings. The creature is shown in dynamic pose occupying the central field, with fine surface detailing conveying the texture of the wings and body. The inscription 'PTERANODON' appears as the primary legend, accompanied by the date '2024', both rendered in the field surrounding the central motif. |
