| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Mint's "Great British Coin Hunt" A–Z series, this issue was released across circulation in 2018 alongside 25 other alphabet-themed 10p pieces. The Royal Mint initially refused to confirm the full alphabet in advance, turning the release into a deliberate collecting exercise — a calculated move that reportedly drove the highest demand for circulating 10p coins in decades. Over 2.6 million of each design were struck, though uneven distribution meant some letters proved significantly harder to find in change than others.
