Overview
The reverse features a crowned lion passant guardant (part of the Royal Crest of England) with the numeral '10' above it and the words 'NEW PENCE' inscribed below.
Historical significance
This coin was part of the United Kingdom's transition to decimalization. It was introduced in 1968 to replace the old two-shilling (florin) coin and circulated alongside it until the florin was demonetized. The word 'NEW' was used to distinguish it from pre-decimal pence until 1982.
Estimated value
$0.10 - $1.00 USD (Circulated condition)
Care & preservation
Store in a cool, dry place within a PVC-free coin holder or capsule. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can't restore value and often damages the numismatic surface.
