The denomination £10 is prominently displayed in the lower field in large raised numerals. The composition celebrates the WWF Conservation series and highlights the ecological significance of this endemic species. |

This issue belongs to the World Wildlife Fund conservation series that proliferated across Commonwealth territories in the late 1970s, with the Falkland Islands participating as one of several small dependencies producing collector-targeted silver proofs through arrangements with London-based minting agencies. The coins were not intended for local circulation — the islands' entire population at the time numbered under two thousand — and were sold directly into the philatelic and numismatic collector market.
Within three years of this coin's striking, the Falklands became the subject of a brief but costly war between Argentina and Britain, which dramatically spiked collector interest in all Falkland Islands material from the pre-conflict period.
