| Obverse description | Diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, whose initials IRB appear below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, with a stylised Guernsey lily sprig depicted in the lower right field adjacent to the neck. The mirrored proof field provides strong contrast against the raised design elements. |

| Reverse description | Two pairs of hands, rendered in high relief, cradle a detailed globe displaying the continental outlines of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres at centre field, symbolising universal hope for the new millennium. The circumferential legend THE YEAR 2000 arcs across the upper field, while the denomination TEN POUNDS is inscribed along the lower periphery. A small designer's mark appears to the left of the globe in the field. The frosted relief design is set against a deeply mirrored proof background. |
