| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Arms of Guernsey — a shield bearing three golden lions passant guardant arranged vertically — rendered in high relief within the coin's field. A circular legend surrounds the shield, reading 'BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' in Latin-script capital letters. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border and the coin's milled rim. The heraldic composition is precise and characteristic of the engraving style associated with Paul Vincze. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-length profile of a Guernsey cow standing to the right, rendered in naturalistic relief on a lightly detailed ground line, symbolising the island's famous dairy breed. The numeral '10' appears prominently in the upper field above the animal. Below the ground line, the date and denomination are inscribed in two lines reading '1977' and 'TEN PENCE' in evenly spaced capital letters. The composition is clean and uncluttered, with the livestock motif occupying the majority of the central field. |
