10 Jamaican Dollars coin (round)

10 Jamaican Dollars (Issued 2008)

The ten-dollar coin was among the highest circulating denominations of Jamaica’s coinage, meeting the need for a larger everyday value as prices rose. It was struck in a silvery nickel-plated alloy and carries a bold, high-relief design within an ornamental scalloped rim that gives the piece a distinctive petal-like outline. Its size and finish set it apart from the lower cent coins.

On the obverse stands the national coat of arms of Jamaica, a shield with a red cross bearing five golden pineapples, supported by a Taíno woman with a basket and a Taíno man with a spear, crested by a crocodile. “JAMAICA” arcs at the top, “TEN DOLLARS” and “2008” around the base, with the motto “OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE” on a scroll.

On the reverse is the portrait of the Right Excellent George William Gordon, a Jamaican national hero, shown facing forward in a high collar and spectacles, encircled by his name and the words “NATIONAL HERO”.
