The intricately detailed image, by Jody Clark, spills over into the bottom of the coin's legend giving it a more lifelike appearance. The remaining legend displays the inscription ‘ROBIN HOOD ᐧ 10OZ ᐧ FINE SILVER ᐧ 999.9 ᐧ 2023’.
The obverse, also by Jody Clark, features the fifth and final effigy of Queen Elizabeth II from the Royal Mint. The queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown and the surrounding legend reads, ‘ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 10 POUNDS ·’.
