Twenty Pence

Brief Description

A seven-sided (equilateral curve heptagon) silver-colored coin featuring the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley on the obverse.

Historical Significance

The 20p coin was first introduced in 1982 to bridge the gap between 10p and 50p coins. This 1998 specimen features the definitive portrait of the Queen used on UK circulating coinage from 1998 to 2015.

Estimated Value

Face value (approx. $0.25 USD) in circulated condition; up to $2-3 USD if in uncirculated condition.

Care Instructions

Keep in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving skin oil marks. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals as this can decrease numismatic value.
