Ten pence coin (obverse)
The British decimal ten pence (10p) coin - often pronounced "ten pee" - was issued in 1968 in preparation for the 1971 decimalisation of the currency.
The ten pence coin initially weighed 11.31 grams and had a diameter of 28.50 mm, identical in this respect to the florin. In 1992 a smaller version was introduced weighing 6.50 g and with a diameter of 24.
