| Reverse description | A vivid full-colour depiction of a Purple Emperor butterfly (Apatura iris) displayed with wings spread open, occupying the central field of the coin. The naturalistic colourisation renders the iridescent purple, blue, and white markings of the species with striking detail against the milled metal ground. The denomination TEN PENCE curves along the upper rim, while the species name PURPLE EMPEROR arches along the lower rim, both in raised Latin lettering. The artwork is credited to wildlife illustrator Mike Langman. |
