Comment
Introduced in 2008 when the small coinage designs were changed from the Emblems of Britain to the Royal Shield of Arms.Information received from the Royal Mint circulating coin team:
‘The issue date for nickel-plated steel 5 and 10 pence pieces was originally intended to be January 2011, however this was deferred to January 2012 to allow additional time for automatic vending machines to be updated to accept the coins. As a result, the 2011 dated 5 and 10 pence pieces were issued into circulation in 2012 instead.’
Interesting fact
The 10 pence coin featuring Elizabeth II's 4th portrait, which was introduced in 2011, was the first coin in the United Kingdom to feature a shield design that was specifically created for the coinage. The shield on the coin features the symbols of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This design was chosen to represent the unity and strength of the United Kingdom.
