| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Glyn Davies. The king is depicted with a bare head and naturalistically detailed features, the truncation of the bust visible at the coin's lower edge. The circular legend reads KING CHARLES III to the upper left and ISLE OF MAN to the upper right, with the date 2025 appearing in the lower field flanked by two raised dots. The designer's initials GD appear below the bust truncation. The field is polished to a proof-like finish contrasting with the frosted relief of the portrait. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has long treated its coinage as a commercial product as much as a monetary instrument, licensing designs and issuing frequent variants that frustrate date collectors and delight theme collectors in equal measure. This "South Stack" 10p is part of the broader UK and Crown Dependency trend of issuing wildlife and nature reverses following the Royal Mint's own 2018 alphabet series, each dependency minting independently under its own treasury authority rather than through London.
Charles III coinage across Crown Dependencies began appearing in earnest through 2023–2025 as existing Elizabeth II blanks and dies were retired.
