History and design
This is a collector version of the 10 Pence - Elizabeth II – N - NHS. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
The NHS 10p is the letter N coin in the Royal Mint's A to Z series, 26 circulating 10p coins revealed on 1 March 2018 as The Great British Coin Hunt: Quintessentially British A to Z. Most letters in the set mark something timeless. This one had a date attached, because the health service reached its 70th anniversary a few months after the coins appeared.
The Royal Mint's page for the coin says the NHS opened its doors in 1948 and would turn 70 on 5 July 2018. It sets out the three principles the service was founded on: that it meets the needs of everyone, that it is free at the point of delivery, and that it is based on clinical need, not the ability to pay. The Mint's verse for the letter calls the NHS "the health and the heart of our nation".
The Royal Mint's circulating figures give 220,000 dated 2018 and 84,000 dated 2019, 304,000 in all.
The reverse shows a stethoscope looped around a large letter N, its tubing drawn so that it forms a heart. The heart picks up the Mint's own description of the service and keeps the design to a single plain symbol.
Both the Royal Mint and Coin Hunter credit the reverse to The Royal Mint Team, with no individual named. The obverse has Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Elizabeth II with the denomination and date. The edge is milled and the coin is nickel-plated steel.
