| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, depicts a right-facing crowned bust of the sovereign wearing the George IV State Diadem and a drop earring. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field, with the engraver's initials J.C. incused beneath the neck truncation. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II · DEI · GRA · REG · F · D ·, with the denomination TEN PENCE and the date 2018 completing the inscription arc across the upper left field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, centrally placed capital letter D in a frosted, textured finish, overlaid upon a stylised side-profile illustration of a classic London double-decker bus spanning the full width of the field. The bus is depicted in a schematic, graphic style with seated passengers visible on both the upper and lower decks through the aperture of the letter, and a uniformed driver visible at the cab on the lower left. The open rear platform with a staircase is shown at the right, faithfully evoking the iconic Routemaster design. The composition is part of the Royal Mint's Great British Coin Hunt A–Z 10p series, with the letter D standing for Double Decker Bus. |
