The legend GIBRALTAR arcs along the upper field, with the date 2023 flanking the crest. The denomination 10 POUND appears in bold lettering along the lower field, while 1 TROY OUNCE is inscribed vertically on the left and 9999 FINE GOLD vertically on the right, all within a plain field on a polished flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatically rendered war elephant in three-quarter view, depicted in full battle regalia with ornate armour, decorative neck garlands, and a spiked headpiece, its trunk raised aloft in an aggressive posture. The deeply sculpted high-relief engraving conveys powerful movement, with fine detail applied to the layered armour plates and embellished trappings of the beast. A radiating sunburst pattern decorates the upper field behind the elephant, and the entire central device is framed by a precisely milled inner border of fine dashes. The field is unlettered, allowing the monumental figural composition to dominate the coin's surface. |
