| Reverse description | A finely detailed full-body profile of a Highland cow, facing left, dominates the central field, rendered with characteristic long, shaggy coat and prominent upswept horns, after a design by Mike Langman. The animal stands on an unadorned ground line within a plain field. The denomination 'TEN PENCE' is inscribed along the upper periphery as a curved legend, while the species identification 'HIGHLAND COW' curves along the lower periphery in matching relief lettering. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has issued its own distinctive coinage since 1830, operating independently of the Royal Mint and maintaining denominations that occasionally diverge from mainland British equivalents. This piece belongs to a wildlife-themed 10p series, a format Guernsey has used periodically to refresh circulating coinage without altering the underlying monetary relationship with sterling.
