Obverse description At centre, a finely detailed Irish timpán (a traditional stringed instrument) depicted in an upright position, its decorative curved body and horizontal crossbar rendered in high relief. The central motif is flanked by an open laurel wreath whose branches extend along the lower half of the field and meet below the instrument, with the date 2005 inscribed in the exergue. The legend NORTHERN IRELAND arcs across the upper field, while the multilingual trial inscription PROBE TEST ESSAI PATTERN curves around the inner border between the wreath branches.

Reverse description A rampant lion facing left, its forepaw resting upon a shield charged with a circle of twelve five-pointed stars, while the opposite forepaw raises a sword upright. The numeral 10, denoting the denomination, appears to the right of the central device in a bold font. The design is rendered in clean, low-relief style consistent with Euro coinage patterns, with the field left largely unadorned to emphasise the heraldic charge.
