| Obverse description | The national arms of Vanuatu occupying the central field, depicting a Melanesian warrior in traditional attire standing before a curved boar's tusk emblem, with a scroll beneath bearing the national motto in Bislama.

| Reverse description | A full-color naturalistic depiction of the butterfly Taenaris catops (family Nymphalidae) displayed with wings spread in dorsal view, occupying virtually the entire field. The wings are rendered in vivid yellow-orange with dark brown to black margins and prominent ocelli — circular eyespot markings with red-orange rings and black pupils — on both the fore- and hindwings. The species name TAENARIS CATOPS appears as a curved legend in the upper field, and the denomination 10 VATU is inscribed along the lower rim, all within a beaded border. |
