| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Princess Joan facing left, her hair drawn up into a chignon. The legend PRINCIPALITY OF SEALAND curves along the upper periphery, with TEN DOLLARS along the lower periphery, and the date 1972 appearing in small numerals at the base of the portrait. Two small seahorse devices flank the denomination as decorative separators. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, giving the coin a proof-like appearance. |
