| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with natural shoulder truncation. The circular legend 'CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' runs around the upper periphery, while the date '• 2025 •' appears in the lower exergual area. The initials 'GD' appear in the field, denoting the engraver. The portrait is contemporary in style, consistent with the standard effigy adopted for Channel Islands coinage under Charles III. |

| Reverse description | A single Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is depicted in profile, swimming horizontally across the central field with fine engraved detailing conveying the animal's smooth body and characteristic markings. The denomination 'TEN PENCE' is inscribed in a curved legend along the upper periphery, while the species name 'HARBOUR PORPOISE' curves along the lower periphery, completing the circular design. The composition is naturalistic in style, with the marine subject rendered against a plain field to emphasise the animal's form. |
