The 1968 Ten New Pence coin holds a special place in British numismatic history as one of the very first decimal coins issued before the official changeover in 1971. Struck in cupronickel and designed by Christopher Ironside with a crowned lion on the reverse and Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait by Arnold Machin on the obverse, this coin bridged the old system of pounds, shillings, and pence with the new decimal era. Equivalent in value to the florin (two shillings), the 1968 10 New Pence familiarised the public with decimalisation and circulated widely until the smaller 10p coin replaced it in 1992. Today, it is treasured by collectors for its historical importance, iconic design, and role in Britain’s monetary transition.
