Beschrijving keerzijde A full-colour applied depiction of a male Common Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) dominates the central field, rendered naturalistically with vivid orange-red plumage on the head and body contrasting with dark brownish-black wings and tail, the bird shown perched and facing left with its characteristic crossed mandibles clearly visible. The denomination TEN PENCE is inscribed in raised capital letters along the upper border, while the species name CROSSBILL appears in raised capital letters along the lower border. The colourisation technique has been applied over the nickel-plated steel flan, giving a striking polychrome effect against the metallic background.

Aanvullende informatie

Guernsey has no native population of red crossbills — the bird appears on Bailiwick coinage as part of a broader British Isles wildlife series rather than any particular local connection. The colourisation was applied post-strike, a finishing process that has become routine among Royal Mint-affiliated producers targeting the collector market since roughly the 2010s and which leaves the underlying coin technically legal tender while rendering it practically uncirculated by design.
