2018 British 10 oz Silver Valiant Coin
September 19, 2018, 10:50:11 AM
Saw a new 10 ounce coin on the Provident Metals web site today.

10 pound coin
89.15 mm is the diameter
weight 311.52 g

This is the first coin by the royal mint to feature a incuse design; This coupled with the beautifully detailed frosted finish make this a brilliantly eye-catching coin

They are saying that the background is a guilloche design.   So I looked that up and got the following definition - ornamentation resembling braided or interlaced ribbons.

Thanks for sharing that Ken. Certainly a nice looking coin.
I guess being so big, they can incorporate some fine detail.

Here are some scans of the coin.

One is the 10 ounce coin compared in size to the standard UK £2 coin.

The other is the 10 ounce coin compared to the US America The Beautiful 5 ounce coin.
