The tenth-ounce (1/10 oz) platinum(Pt) coins are denominated as Ten Pounds (£10) and were first issued by the Royal Mint in 2018. The Britannia features The Royal Mint’s new guilloché obverse design. The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation, but rather for investors or collectors.
Coins of the Britannia type have been issued in gold since 1987 and in silver since 1997; platinum was added to the mix with special editions in 2007 and 2008.
The designer and Sculptor, Philip Nathan, envisaged Britannia as a classic and evolving icon.
