Overview

A heptagonal (seven-sided) coin featuring a crowned Tudor Rose on the reverse, with the date '1983' split on either side of the crown and the numeral '20' below the rose.

Historical significance

The twenty pence coin was introduced in 1982 to bridge the gap between the 10p and 50p coins. The 1983 issue represents the second year of production for this denomination. The Tudor Rose on the reverse is a traditional heraldic emblem of England.

Estimated value

Face value (20p) if circulated; £1.00 - £3.00 if in uncirculated condition.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within an acid-free holder or capsule. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or clothes, as this can damage the numismatic surface and reduce collector value.
