| Reverse description | A colourised scene depicting six Canada geese arranged across the coin's field, forming the sixth verse motif of the 'Twelve Days of Christmas' series. Three geese are shown resting or nesting in circular straw nests, rendered in warm brown and black tones, while additional geese stand upright with elongated black necks prominently displayed. The legend TEN PENCE is inscribed in raised letters arcing along the upper margin of the reverse field, with no additional border lettering. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has operated as a Crown Dependency with the right to issue its own coinage since the 19th century, entirely separate from the UK Royal Mint's remit. That autonomy has made it a prolific producer of themed collector issues, particularly since the 1970s. This piece is part of a twelve-coin series — one for each verse of the carol — almost certainly intended to be collected as a set rather than spent.
