| Obverse description | Uncrowned left-facing effigy of King Charles III after the portrait by Glyn Davies, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The legend CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 2024 appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small decorative stops. The bust is contemporary in style, depicting the King without crown or diadem, with naturalistically rendered hair. The designer's initials GD appear below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | A detailed naturalistic depiction of a Shore Crab (Carcinus maenas) viewed from above, occupying the central field with its legs and claws extended outward in a lifelike pose, engraved by Mike Langman. The carapace and appendages are rendered with fine textural detail, conveying the species with scientific accuracy. The denomination legend TEN PENCE arcs along the upper periphery, while the species inscription SHORE CRAB curves along the lower periphery. The overall composition fills the coin's field effectively, leaving a modest rim on all sides. |
