Obverse description Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Glyn Davies. The truncated bust shows naturalistic detail in the hair and facial features. The circular legend reads 'CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' along the upper periphery, with the date '2023' flanked by two raised dots at the lower field. The engraver's initials 'GD' appear discreetly below the portrait truncation.

Reverse description A full-colour applied image of a coiled adder (Vipera berus) occupies the central field, the serpent depicted in naturalistic tones of grey-green and cream with characteristic dark dorsal zigzag patterning and a vivid red eye. The colourisation technique contrasts sharply with the milled metal ground. The denomination legend 'TEN PENCE' is inscribed in raised letters along the upper periphery, and the species name 'ADDER' appears in raised letters along the lower periphery, both in a bold serif typeface.
