2018 British 10 oz Silver Valiant Coin
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.

The 10oz is certainly a beauty.

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