| Reverse description | A full-colour photorealistic representation of a Red Admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) occupies the central field, its wings displayed open to reveal the characteristic dark brown and black coloration accented by bold red-orange bands and white spotting, rendered in vibrant applied colour against a plain metallic field. The denomination TEN PENCE is inscribed in raised lettering along the upper arc, and the species name RED ADMIRAL appears in raised lettering along the lower arc, both legends in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has issued colourised circulating-format coins with some regularity, but these pieces are produced for the collector market and do not enter general circulation. The Red Admiral series falls into a well-established category of Royal Mint–adjacent issues from Crown Dependencies that exploit their technically separate currency status to produce items with limited numismatic standing beyond the issuing territory.
