The original 10p was first issued in 1968 as a larger coin and was initially used alongside and was the same size as its predecimal equivalent coin, the florin (two shillings). In 1992 the 10p was made smaller and lighter. For the smaller current type, see here. Note that there are many minor varieties for these old-size 10p coins. The best information on them that I have seen is in a book called ‘The Identification of British 20th Century Silver Coin Varieties” by David J Groom. It contains over 30 pages just covering large 10p varieties!

The A-Z of Great Britain 10p coins have been a firm favourite with collectors since they were first released in 2018, with 26 Quintessentially British designs capturing the public’s imagination. Unsurprisingly, some designs are proving more popular than others, but which ones are likely to fetch the most on the secondary market? Thousands of UK coins, including all circulation 10p coins are sold everyday on eBay as both auctions and buy it now. Sold prices are a good measure of what people are currently willing to pay to add a 10p to their coin collection.
