Ten Pence.

Both large and small 10p Sterling silver proofs in Royal Mint case of issue.

In fact the Royal Mint issued a set of coins for the new Decimalisation which contained three coins dated 1971 and two dated 1968. The 10 Pence and the 5 Pence were dated 1968 as they had an exact decimal equivalent. This older large sized 10 Pence was dated and issued in1968, three years before the coins were going to be issued. The set was to train people in the new decimal coinage. This 10 Pence is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and a lot of collectors are missing it from their collections.

One of the most interesting coins of the Decimal series is the 10 Pence pieces, especially the old large-sized coins. The first Decimal 10p was introduced in 1968, replacing the two shilling coin in preparation for decimalisation in 1971. It features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin on the obverse. Today you get the small-sized 10 Pence in your change, as this large-sized coin has not been made for over 16 years.

In 1992 the Royal Mint reduced the size of the 10 Pence, the first time since it was originally struck in 1968. The coin was too big and did not reflect the change in our lives and the usage of our coins. So a new smaller coin was struck. For collectors the Royal Mint issued a set of the old large sized 10p and the new smaller 10p in Sterling Silver. Please remember that the large sized 10p was not produced for circulation in any metal. So if you want a large sized 10p dated 1992 you will need one in silver and this is it. You get both the large sized and the small sized 10 Pences, both dated 1992 and both in Proof Sterling Silver. The pair come in a Royal Mint case of issue.
