Overview

Historical significance

Introduced in 1968 as part of the UK's transition to decimalization, this coin circulated alongside the old florin (two shillings) which it replaced in value. The 'New Pence' inscription was used until 1981 to distinguish decimal coins from the pre-decimal currency.

Estimated value

$0.13 - $0.50 USD (Face value is 10p; most circulated examples are common and worth face value or slightly more to collectors depending on condition).

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place within a non-PVC coin holder or capsule. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can destroy the patina and reduce numismatic value.
