2018 British 10 oz Silver Valiant Coin

(1/2) > >>

Kena:
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.

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

Kena:
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.

Redlock:
The 10oz is certainly a beauty.

AuldFartte:
That is a real beauty! I've always loved the George and the Dragon designs. Thanks for posting this one!
