History and design
This is a collector version of the 10 Pence - Elizabeth II – C - Cricket. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
Cricket took the letter C when the Royal Mint put an alphabet of British themes on the 10p in 2018. The 26 coins, titled The Great British Coin Hunt: Quintessentially British A to Z, were revealed on 1 March 2018 and began entering circulation that month.
According to Coin World's report of the launch, the subjects were informed by a 2017 poll of UK residents, and cricket came out as the favourite sport with 48 per cent of votes against 29 per cent for football. The Royal Mint's page for the coin calls cricket the Great British pastime, says it became the national sport in the 18th century and spread around the world in the 19th and 20th, and dates its first formal laws to the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1835.
The Mint's circulating figures are 220,000 dated 2018 and 84,000 dated 2019, a total of 304,000. For scale, it lists 33,300,000 ordinary 10p coins dated 2017.
The reverse shows a batsman striking a ball, set beside a large letter C. Change Checker describes it as a man playing cricket alongside the letter. The denomination and date are on the obverse, with the fifth portrait of Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.
The Royal Mint and Coin Hunter both credit the reverse to The Royal Mint Team. The coin is nickel-plated steel and has a milled edge.
