| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail of the hair and facial features, as sculpted by Glyn Davies. The legend CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY curves around the upper periphery, while the date 2023 appears at the bottom of the coin between two raised dots. The engraver's initials GD are incorporated discreetly into the portrait. The field surrounding the effigy is deeply recessed, lending a cameo-like contrast to the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a full-color applied depiction of two turtle doves (Streptopelia turtur) facing one another in the center of the field, their characteristic speckled brown and chestnut plumage and white neck patches rendered in vivid polychrome. A sprig of holly with bright red berries and glossy green leaves occupies the lower foreground, reinforcing the festive Christmas theme. The legend TEN PENCE is incused in bold capital letters across the upper arc of the coin. This design forms part of the Guernsey Twelve Days of Christmas commemorative series for 2023, engraved by Rachel Blackwell. |
