| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistic full-body depiction of a standing Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) occupying the central field, rendered in fine relief after artwork by wildlife artist Mike Langman. The bird faces left, with its characteristic plumage, webbed feet, and stout hooked bill rendered with ornithological precision. The denomination TEN PENCE arcs along the upper portion of the legend, while the species name HERRING GULL curves along the lower periphery in matching serif lettering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guernsey's wildlife coinage series has periodically replaced the long-running decimal designs with locally themed fauna, and this herring gull issue belongs to that tradition. The herring gull itself is something of an ironic choice for a Channel Island — the species is on the UK's red conservation list, its breeding population having collapsed by over 60% since the 1960s, yet it remains a ubiquitous presence on Guernsey's harbours and rooftops.
