Overview
The reverse features a crowned lion passant guardant (part of the Crest of England) with the numeral '10' and the words 'NEW PENCE'. It has a reeded edge.
Historical significance
This coin was introduced as part of the United Kingdom's transition to decimal currency. It was first issued in 1968 to circulate alongside the florin (two-shilling piece) before full decimalization in 1971. The word 'NEW' was removed after 1981.
Estimated value
Face value (10p) approximately $0.13 USD. Most circulated examples are worth only face value, though specific rare minting errors or proof versions can be worth more.
Care & preservation
Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can damage the surface and reduce collector value. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a PVC-free coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation and scratches.
