Automatically when I see Queen Elizabeth II on a coin I think it's Canadian. It's a force of habit seeing how many Canadian coins I always find.
Well 2 out of 3 times I'm correct and the third time is something random. This random coin was a nice quarter size ten pence from Great Britain.
The Queen is the most coined image in the world and has gone though several makeovers for each stage in her reign.
The ten pence is 24.5 mm in diameter meaning it's the more common circulating edition. There is a 28 mm one sold only in sets worth more. Shrinking money is a common way to save on metal( and cost), Mexico is the latest country hoping to try this on half their coins.
Here's the stats...

Do you have a coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
That's one thing that used to surprise me every time when I worked as a bank cashier / teller; the variety of widths of coins... some looked to be triple the width of others!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the metal, Mexico is famous for changing coins just to keep up with metal value.
