| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, after the portrait model by Arnold Machin. The legend encircles the bust, reading 'ISLE OF MAN ELIZABETH II' with the date below. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the Queen's hair and jewellery, characteristic of the Machin second portrait series. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed gyrfalcon perched in three-quarter view occupies the centre of the field, engraved by Leslie Lindsay. The bird is depicted with naturalistic feather detail on its wings, breast, and tail, its talons gripping a decorative element at the base. Intricate Celtic knotwork interlace ornaments flank the central device on both sides and along the lower field, referencing the Manx artistic heritage. The denomination numeral '10' appears to the right of the falcon, incorporated within the Celtic decorative border. The highly polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely frosted devices. |
