Common questions

History and design

For the letter V in its A to Z of Britain, the Royal Mint chose the village. The coin is one of 26 different 10p pieces, one per letter, issued for circulation in 2018 under the title The Great British Coin Hunt: Quintessentially British A to Z and revealed on 1 March that year. The Mint's own title for this one is V, Villages.

The Royal Mint's circulating figures give 220,000 dated 2018 and 84,000 dated 2019, or 304,000 in total. Those are the standard figures for the series: all 26 letters had 220,000 in 2018, and 21 of them had 84,000 in 2019. The last ordinary 10p before the series, dated 2017, had a mintage of 33,300,000.

A large letter V stands in front of a village street on the reverse. Change Checker calls the scene an idyllic British village. No particular place is named by the Royal Mint.

The Mint's text for the coin describes villages and village life as a huge part of British culture, places "where everyone seems to know each other". It mentions Flash in the Peak District, which it gives as Britain's highest village at 463m above sea level, and fictional villages familiar from television such as Emmerdale, Midsomer and Dibley. The accompanying verse runs: "We travel through villages, valleys and dales. The breadth of the country England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales."

The Royal Mint credits the reverse to The Royal Mint Team, although Coin Hunter names the artist as P J Lynch. The obverse is the fifth portrait of Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The coin is nickel-plated steel with a milled edge.

Collecting notes

The same reverse was used in both years. Read the date on the obverse to tell the 2018 coin from the 2019 one, which had the smaller mintage at 84,000.

No recognised varieties or mint errors are documented for this coin.

The Royal Mint also made the design as a sterling silver proof dated 2018, the same size and weight as the circulating coin, and sold a 2019 uncirculated set of all 26 letters. Coin Hunter is the only source found that attributes this design to a named artist, and it gives the same name for X, X Marks the Spot. The neighbouring letter is W, World Wide Web.
