| Reverse description | Four selectively gilt effigies of Queen Elizabeth II, representing successive official portrait busts used on coinage throughout her reign, arranged at the cardinal points within an elaborate interlacing foliate framework of acanthus scrolls and Tudor roses rendered in silver relief. The portrait at the top depicts her youthful bare-headed effigy, while those at the left, right, and bottom represent her progressively mature crowned and diademed effigies; all four busts are applied in gold gilding against the mirrored silver field. The outer legend reads '* HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II * EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY *' around the upper and lateral periphery, with 'TEN POUNDS' inscribed at the base. The rim, as on the obverse, is gilt. The overall composition commemorates the Queen's eightieth birthday in 2006. |
