Description

This authentic 2010 British 5 Pence coin features the fourth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the modern Royal Shield design on the reverse, introduced in 2008 as part of the redesigned UK coin series.

The shield represents a segment of the Royal Coat of Arms, symbolizing the unity of the United Kingdom. This design is widely recognized among collectors for its clean, geometric style.

A great addition for world coin collectors, UK currency sets, or beginners building a British decimal collection.
