History and design
This is a collector version of the 10 Pence - Elizabeth II – W - World Wide Web. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
W for World Wide Web brings modern technology into the Royal Mint's A to Z 10p series, the 26 coins issued for circulation in 2018 as The Great British Coin Hunt: Quintessentially British A to Z. When the series was revealed on 1 March 2018, the Mint's chief executive Anne Jessopp singled it out in the press release, listing "technological advancements such as Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web" among the things the designs celebrate.
The coin matters to collectors for its second date. In the Royal Mint's figures 220,000 were issued dated 2018, like every other letter, but only 63,000 dated 2019. Most letters had 84,000 that year. W, Y and Z share the 63,000 figure, the lowest of the 52 date and letter combinations, with R next at 64,000. The W total across both dates is 283,000.
The reverse places a large letter W over a spider's web, a pun on the name. The Royal Mint says the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and traces it from the first web browser page in 1990 through dial-up connections to fibre optic broadband, Google, Wikipedia and social media.
The Mint's verse for the coin ties it to the hunt itself: "If the trail goes cold, to the wide web we'll turn, the location of our next coin, here we'll discern."
The reverse is credited to The Royal Mint Team. The obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Elizabeth II. The coin is nickel-plated steel with a milled edge.
