Common questions

History and design

J is for Jubilee in the Royal Mint's A to Z 10p series, the 26 ten pence designs revealed on 1 March 2018 as The Great British Coin Hunt: Quintessentially British A to Z. It does not mark one particular anniversary. It treats the royal jubilee itself as a British institution, alongside subjects such as cricket and the double decker bus.

The Royal Mint's page for the coin is about street parties as much as royalty. It says a jubilee gives the country a reason to get out the bunting, and that Elizabeth II and Victoria are the only two British monarchs to have celebrated a Diamond Jubilee. Its example is June 2012, when more than 2 million people took part in street parties and a pageant of some 1,000 boats sailed on the Thames. Change Checker adds the Sapphire Jubilee of 2017.

The Mint's circulating figures are 220,000 dated 2018 and 84,000 dated 2019, which comes to 304,000.

The reverse shows a royal carriage above a large letter J. Change Checker calls it a Jubilee Carriage, and Coin Hunter identifies it as the Gold State Coach.

The Royal Mint credits the reverse to The Royal Mint Team. The obverse carries the fifth portrait of Elizabeth II by Jody Clark with the denomination and date, so the Queen whose jubilees the coin recalls is on the other side. The coin is nickel-plated steel with a milled edge.

Collecting notes

Check which year you have, since the carriage design is the same on both. The Royal Mint struck 220,000 dated 2018 and 84,000 dated 2019. The J coin's 2019 figure is the one shared by 21 letters. Q, R, W, Y and Z had fewer.

Any 10p dated 2018 or 2019 is an A to Z coin, since the Royal Mint recorded no standard 10p for circulation in either year. The large letter J below the carriage identifies this one.

Uncirculated examples were sold by the Royal Mint singly and in sets of all 26 letters, and there is a sterling silver proof dated 2018 with the same design, weight and diameter. The letters either side are I, Ice Cream and K, King Arthur.
