Reverse description The reverse features a colourised full-body depiction of a pine marten (Martes martes) rendered naturalistically by wildlife artist Mike Langman, the animal shown in profile facing left and standing upon a mossy surface, its bushy tail arching to the right. The creature is coloured in warm chestnut-brown tones with the species' characteristic pale cream-yellow throat patch rendered in vivid applied colour against the otherwise milled metal field. The denomination TEN PENCE arcs in raised lettering along the upper periphery, while the common name PINE MARTEN appears in a curved legend along the lower periphery.
