| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, with the engraver's initials IRB visible below the truncation. The Queen is depicted with a diadem and elaborately dressed hair. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY, with the date 2014 appearing to the lower right of the portrait. The highly polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed relief of the bust. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a boldly rendered scene commemorating the First World War, dominated by a foreground figure of a British soldier in full Great War service dress and steel helmet, saluting with raised hand. Behind him, in lower relief, a stretcher party carries a wounded comrade across a battlefield landscape. Occupying the right half of the field, an inscribed memorial text in varying font sizes reads THEIR BODIES ARE BURIED IN PEACE; BUT THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE, a quotation from Ecclesiasticus 44:14. The date range 1914-1918 and the denomination £10 are inscribed in the lower portion of the field, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |
