| 裏面の説明 | Central design depicting two overlapping circular reproductions of the historic Coenwulf Gold Penny of Mercia (c. 805 AD), rendered in high relief against a lined field. The left disc shows a stylised portrait bust of King Coenwulf facing right, diademed and draped, surrounded by a beaded border with the partial legend +COENVVLF REX; the right disc bears the characteristic floral or rosette reverse design of the original penny, also within a beaded border with partial inscription. The series title MOST VALUABLE GOLD COINS IN THE WORLD arcs across the upper field in two lines, while COENWULF GOLD PENNY is inscribed horizontally across the lower centre, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS appears along the lower rim. |

The original Coenwulf penny — struck in gold at Canterbury around 805 AD and sold at auction in 2006 for £230,000 — remains the most valuable British coin ever sold and the only known example of its type. This issue commemorates that singular object. The 45mm diameter against a 0.311g gold weight means the planchet is struck as a thin wide disc, a deliberate format choice to maximize surface area for the design while using the minimum legally permissible gold content for a bullion-backed commemorative.
