| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, rendered in the third definitive portrait by Raphael David Maklouf. The queen's hair is styled in an upswept arrangement with a pearl drop earring visible. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the upper left field and ALDERNEY along the upper right, with the initials RDM discretely placed on the truncation. The date 2003 appears in the lower exergue below the portrait. |

| Reverse description | A gold-plated representation of Concorde in dynamic diagonal flight occupies the central field, depicted from a low angle with its characteristic delta wing planform and drooped nose clearly rendered. The background features a stylized architectural motif suggesting a runway or terminal structure with concentric arc lines in the lower field evoking motion and speed. The legend CONCORDE 1969-2003 arcs along the upper portion of the field, while TEN POUNDS is inscribed in the lower right quadrant. The selectively gold-plated Concorde effigy contrasts dramatically against the polished silver field, a design attributed to engraver Emma Noble. |
