What does an England 10 pence look like?

Answer 1

On the 'tails' side there is a lion with paw raised, wearing a royal crown. Around the top are the words TEN PENCE' and a large '10' below the lion. On the heads side there is a depiction of Her Majesty the Queen's head facing right with the legend 'Elizabeth II D.G.REG.F.D.' and the year of minting (eg 2005). The legend means D.G. - Dei Gratia (by the grace of God) REG - Regina (Queen) F.D. - Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith) The coin is silver coloured and made from an alloy of copper and nickel. Around the edge there is 'milling' - tiny notches that are at right angles to the faces of the coin.

Answer 2

The British 1990 general circulation One Pound coin is the same as the 1985 issue.

They have Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the Welsh design of a leek in a coronet on the reverse with the words "ONE POUND" under the coronet.

The edge inscription reads - PLEIDIOL WYF I'M GWLAD ("True am I to my country" from the Welsh national anthem).
