| Obverse description | The fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, is depicted in right-facing profile bust, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The truncation of the neck bears the engraver's initials IRB. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D·, with the date 2010 positioned at lower right, all rendered in raised Latin lettering against a polished field characteristic of piedfort proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Stuart Devlin, presents a complex heraldic composition centred on the arms of Belfast, divided into two quarters: the upper dexter quarter displays a bell above a chequered field, while the lower sinister quarter features a full-rigged sailing ship under full sail. Surrounding the central shield are three smaller roundels depicting the Edinburgh Castle, the cross of St George, and a dragon, referencing the other capitals of the United Kingdom. The denomination ONE POUND arcs along the left and right periphery, with BELFAST inscribed across the upper field within a raised border, all executed in high relief befitting a piedfort striking. |
