Overview

A seven-sided (equilateral curve heptagon) silver-colored coin. The reverse features a crowned Tudor Rose, the date 1990, and the words 'TWENTY PENCE'.

Historical significance

Introduced in 1982 to bridge the gap between the 10p and 50p coins. The Tudor Rose design represents a traditional heraldic emblem of England, symbolizing the end of the Wars of the Roses.

Estimated value

Face value (20p) if circulated; up to £1.50 in uncirculated condition.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or scrubbing, as this can damage the numismatic surface. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing tarnishing.
