| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III after the portrait by Glyn Davies, rendered in high relief against a polished field. The King is depicted with a bare head and truncated bust, showing fine detail in the facial features and hair. The peripheral legend reads KING CHARLES III to the upper left and ISLE OF MAN to the upper right, separated by raised dots. The date 2025 appears in the lower field, flanked by two raised dots. |

| Reverse description | Full-colour depiction of Durdle Door, the iconic natural limestone arch located on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset, England, rendered in vivid polychrome enamel colouring. The scene captures the golden sandy beach in the foreground, the turquoise-blue waters of the sea passing beneath the arch, and the warm ochre and rust tones of the rugged limestone formation rising against a lightly detailed sky. The denomination TEN PENCE arcs along the upper rim of the coin in raised Latin letters within the uncoloured silver field. The inscription JURASSIC COAST curves along the lower portion of the design, integrated into the coloured scene. |

| Additional information |
The Jurassic Coast — technically a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching along the Dorset and East Devon shoreline — has no geographic connection to the Isle of Man whatsoever. The Isle of Man Treasury has made a habit of licensing themed commemorative circulation-format coins that bear little relation to Manx history, effectively monetizing topical subjects for collector sales rather than genuine circulation needs. This piece is one of several in a natural world series issued under that model.
