| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupying the central field with bold high relief. The portrait depicts the King in mature likeness with naturalistically rendered hair and facial features. Surrounding the effigy, a circular Latin legend reads CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·10 POUNDS, with the engraver's initials MJ appearing below the truncation. The field background is covered with an intricate engine-turned guilloche pattern, imparting a refined, textured appearance characteristic of Royal Mint bullion coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a powerful rendition of the Bull of Clarence, one of the Ten Tudor Beasts, depicted in a dynamic crouching posture and turned to the right, executed in high relief by engraver David Lawrence. The heraldic bull, wearing a crown and gorged with a coronet, rests one forehoof upon a shield emblazoned with a Tudor rose, while a second Tudor rose appears in the upper right field. The design is set within a recessed circular field with a finely textured background. The surrounding legend BULL OF CLARENCE·10 OZ·FINE SILVER·999.9 arcs across the upper portion of the coin, with the date 2023 inscribed at the base flanked by two small lozenge stops, and the engraver's initials DL appear discretely within the design. |
