| Obverse description | The obverse features the fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend 'ELIZABETH II · BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY · 2011' encircles the portrait within the outer field. The Queen's bare-shouldered bust is depicted in high relief, consistent with the Rank-Broadley portrait adopted across Commonwealth coinage from 1998. The coin is struck to proof standard, resulting in sharp definition and frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents conjoined busts of HRH Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton facing left, commemorating their royal wedding of April 2011. The couple is portrayed in an intimate profile composition, with the surrounding legend divided to identify each figure by name. The inscription 'HRH PRINCE WILLIAM OF WALES' appears on one portion of the legend, with 'MISS CATHERINE MIDDLETON' on the other, and 'TEN POUNDS' completing the denomination legend. The design is executed in high relief against a polished proof field, befitting the commemorative nature of this large-format gold issue. |
